Model Steam Turbines (Classic Reprint): How to Design and Build Them; A Practical Handbook for Model-MakersExcerpt from Model Steam Turbines Steam turbines may be divided into two classes: the impulse or action type, in which a jet of steam or ? uid at high velocity impinges on a number Of vanes or paddles fixed around the rim Of a wheel free to rotate, and the reaction type, more generally known as Hero's Engine or Barker's mill. Both these types are pretty familiar to us from our Childhood's days, in the windows of the toyshop, and no doubt in many cases

Excerpt from Model Steam Turbines

Steam turbines may be divided into two classes: the impulse or action type, in which a jet of steam or ?uid at high velocity impinges on a number Of vanes or paddles fixed around the rim Of a wheel free to rotate, and the reaction type, more generally known as Hero's Engine or Barker's mill. Both these types are pretty familiar to us from our Childhood's days, in the windows of the toyshop, and no doubt in many cases (the writer's also) formed our first steam model. They are illustrated in figs. 1 and 2, and frequently appear in patent specifications, though, of course, with considerable modification. In order that the principles on which these machines are designed and for which they depend on their action may be thoroughly understood, the following elementary mechanical considerations are necessary.

Solid... with a few quirks
Very simple assembly. Was sturdy after all screws were tightened. Be aware that this is particle board so it will bubble up if it gets wet. I learned this the hard way by putting a plant on it that sweat through the pot and damaged it. I have 4 stars because two of the screws stripped in the home because of the cheap wood (I was even being careful not to yet m tighten them too much). Additionally, the screw hole covers were only cheap stickers that started peeling off within 24hrs. Otherwise the product was solid. If you don't mind exposed screw holes then those is a good deal. One other thing to note is that it only comes with 4 square backing pieces to cover 4 of the cubbies, not all 8. I wasn't expecting any but only 4 was a little odd.

Worth the money.
Was surprised with the way it was to be positioned, vertically. It’s perfect for where I wanted it. While it was different to my plan, I love it. It’s a good value for the price. It held bigger totes than I thought, it was easy to put together and seems to be well worth what I paid.
