{"product_id":"heisler-geared-locomotives-catalog-9781935700005","title":"Heisler Geared Locomotives Catalog","description":"In 1892 Charles Heisler received a patent for a new kind of geared locomotive. Equipped with twin canted cylinders, the engine utilized a drive shaft to power outboard axles and connecting rods to power the inboard axles. As a result of this 'vee-twin' arrangement, the Heisler was one of the fastest geared steam locomotives, providing more power with lower operating costs. Over 600 Heislers were produced from the 1890's until 1941, when the Heisler Locomotive Works closed its doors. This reproduction of the company's illustrated catalog dates from the 1920's. It shows the full line of Heisler products and presents a compelling argument for their use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Periscope Film LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935700005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.10d","brand":"Heisler Locomotive Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38211692986549,"sku":"9781935700005","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ef2d2356-b9a8-4770-9e37-d0a409e54338.jpg?v=1610431580","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/heisler-geared-locomotives-catalog-9781935700005","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
