This is the TABLE OF CONTENTS is from a book by Burton K Davis called "How to build model railroads and equipment". It was published by Crown Publishers of  N.Y. in 1956. The Library of Congress catalog number is 56-7197.  This book is not currently available for sale.  I got a copy from my local library.  In addition to the figures included in this web page, the book also contains instructions and tips on how to build models of the equipment. Click on the text to see to graphics. Most of the scans are 200 dpi(dots per inch), most printers are 300 or better, most computer screens are about 75, in other works these things should look great when printed. Only the hypertext (blue underlined text) has a corresponding scan.  I suggest you save the GIF files (use the right mouse button, an choose "Save image as..") to your hard drive, then use VuePrint or a similar graphics program, to print them.
