Model Engineer Magazine 4544 Back Issue

Claude B. Reeve was a most prolific amateur maker of clocks and Malcolm Wild has spent years trying to find out where almost forty of those beautiful clock are now, with very limited success. He writes about those he has managed to trace.
Ron Wright continues a fascinating series about the theory and mechanics of transmission, focussing on the epicycle gear train. The article is expertly illustrated with diagrams to clarify the text.
Traction engine rallies also take place in miniature and Derek Brown photographed a long established rally in Eastern England. Our front cover this time is taken from that feature.
For the active model engineer following the marine engine by Chris Walter we have the next instalment and Ian Couchman manufactures more of the internal components of his threshing drum.
For CNC enthusiasts Peter King gives more practical advice for those at the early stages of their new ‘career’ and Robert Hobbs makes progress on rebuilding locomotives for display.
All this and plenty more!
