Model Engineer's Handybook --On line

[lugnut]

I was just looking around on line and found that Google has a on line book section. In that massive selection of online books I found the Model Engineer's Handybook. A great book to look through. Here is a link to it. Check it out.

I just bought the book. I am building a boiler feed pump. I works by a big piston pushing a small piston. I am trying to figure out how to start and stop the feed pump automatically by the level in the boiler. I have a Saito boiler. I am trying to keep the start and stop device mechanical in the spirit of the age of steam. It is vitally important to keep the proper water level up in your steam powered pencil sharpener. If you lose steam you might not have a sharp pencil for that important note you have to take.
I am working on getting pictures published of the Steam Powered Pencil Sharpener.
