You realize that you will need several hundred drawings, right? Every single part on the engine will need a detailed drawing, with all dimensions, sometime even down to the bolts used.
Yes, we realize this. That book will give us many of the drawings we need.
No, I don't think it will.
There's a big difference between drawings and blue prints. The drawings that you are going to get in a book are probably great for a model builder. Not so much if you want to know the exact diameter and length of the main crankpin, though, or the exact dimensions of the drawbars, or the exact size and shape of a driver box. Or the size of the shoes and the taper of the wedges. You get the idea.
The book is the most comprehensive book on Niagaras so far. I'm sure there will be 1:1-worthy drawings in there, but yes, I see where you're coming from.
