Delving into machines. An attractive flap book on modern technology.

'How better to explain the workings of a locomotive, a steam engine, an automobile motor, or a pumping system than by using a series of flaps that, when opened gradually, reveal the inner workings of these complex machines? Moderne Technik provides a comprehensive view of the workings of the latest technological advances used in transportation and machines for industrial manufacturing of the early 20th century' (Stephen Van Dyk, Smithsonian Libraries). The detailed illustrations include the steam engine, diesel engine, submarine, ship, airship, aeroplane, and telegraph, among others.

First edition; 'Atlas' volume, 4to; 15 pop-up colour plates with various overlays, each with accompanying letterpress; occasional spotting, several pages roughly with small resultant chips but only on extreme edge, not affecting images; publisher's beige cloth, upper cover lettered, paper-covered spine, splits, small loss to head and tail, generally a bit soiled, upper hinge split but holding, certainly used but in fair condition.
