Steam Ships
Originally published in 1910, this book is the reference work on the subject, and is full of information that would be difficult to find today. The writing style is dry and factual, which will put some readers off, but the detailed research undertaken by the author makes this book a very useful source of facts. The same author also published 'Warships and their Story' which is of equal interest.
This edition is a photocopy of the original in hardback. It is not of the best quality, but you will find it almost impossible to source an original in reasonable condition. After all, it is over 100 years old!

Powerful washer at a reasonable price
1 of 2 found this helpful Easy to assemble, though instructions refer to the water pump needing oil. This is not the case any more as this pump is self lubricating. Proved difficult to start, but once running produced a powerful cleaning jet which cleaned my terrace quickly and well using the 40 degree nozzle. The machine is noisy, but the engine is mounted on shock absorbers which help a bit and stop the vibration moving it around. About half throttle was needed, and you do need some throttle when starting. This machine is thirsty (like most American engines) and used about 2 litres of petrol to complete the job over about 45 minutes. In my opinion this machine is good value for money (A similar British make is twice the price) and very effective at what it does. Hopefully, starting will become easier once the engine is run in.

Good, but replacement batteries very difficult to source
2 of 2 found this helpful This mower performs well, is light to manoevre and quite easy to put together. The battery lasts for around 40 minutes, which is adequate for a small to medium sized lawn.
I got a good deal on this machine, but there is a reason for this. A newer version has been produced with a 40cm cut. For some reason (known only to Spear & Jackson) the battery for this newer mower is NOT compatible with the older 37cm unit. Perhaps I should have done more research before purchase, as the correct battery is now almost unobtainable. I will probably have to dispose of this perfectly good mower once the battery fails to hold a charge.
