Traction Engines and other steam road engines by Derek Rayner. Traction engines, steam engines to haul loads on the roads, developed in the mid 1860s and were usually noisy and somewhat crude to handle but always impressive. This small book brings together much information about these engines from the earliest to the latest. Attention is also given to the various derivatives of the traction engine steam roller, road locos, ploughing engines etc.
