"A
helpful guide for collectors." — Scale Rails
"The
author has done an extreme amount of research. A highly recommended
book, even if you're not a gauge collector." — Shavings
"The
author has gone a long way towards making up for the dearth
of information available about American steam gauges."
— Maine Antique Digest
"Even
if you don't care a hoot about gauges, you will after reading
the author's stories about gauge makers and companies."
— May Lou Stover, The Gristmill
"I
found the book fascinating and never collected a gauge in
my life!" — Jim Reyer, Steam in the Garden Magazine
"I
was especially impressed with the tremendous quantity of research
work done on patents and on the corporate histories of the
end users of the gauges. I highly recommend this book to anyone
with an interest in nineteenth century technology." —-
W. Andrew Morrison, President of the Chattanooga Society of
Model Engineers, Inc.
"Over
304 pages with many illustrations of gauges and the machines/vehicles
the gauges were used on. The chapter on cleaning/restoring
is particularly intriguing, even though labeled for steam
gauges, because there are so many similarities to fire apparatus
gauges." — Tim W. Elder, Silver Trumpet Editor, (SPAAMFA)
Society for the Preservation & Appreciation of Antique Motor
Fire Apparatus in America
