Light Steam Power

Its masthead for some years described itself as, "Authentic World News on Steam Power for Cars, Launches and Small Stationary Units".

Steam turbines and large steamships were less frequent, being beyond the constructional capacity of most readers, but they were described as news items when particularly interesting events took place.

The magazine covered a broad range of topics within 'steam power', often at a far more advanced level than contemporary railway and steam locomotive practice.

Low-water-content water-tube boilers were commonplace and even monotube steam generators and uniflow engines were regular features.

It originated news and published clippings for western members of the Steam Automobile Club of America.
