Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Steam Engine Indicator and Indicator Diagrams: With Notes on Steam Engine Performances, the Expansion of Steam, Behaviour of Steam in Steam Engine Cylinders, and on Gas Engine Diagrams
The intention of the writer of this book has been to place in the hands of students and practical men a concise guide to the objects, construction and use of the Indicator, and to the interpretation of Indicator Dia grams. Care has been used to avoid lengthy discussion of theoretical or hypothetical matters which, although of great scientific importance, do not immediately con cern those whose desire is to understand the practical employment of the Indicator. As used by those interested in any way with the working of steam and other motors.
