Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Boiler Construction: A Manual of Instruction and Useful Information for Practical Men
About the year 1881 I was requested by a number of mechanics to give them some practical information about the strength and construction of steam boilers. After some hesitation I agreed to do so, in order to help a body of men whose Opportunities for study were limited, and whose lack of knowledge was more their' misfortune than their fault. I accordingly prepared a series of papers, which were first read before the Engineering Association of New South Wales and afterwards published in book form for distribution amongst those interested.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the principles and practices of boiler construction for individuals interested in mechanical engineering and boilermaking. Perfect for beginners, the book first establishes the physical properties of steel and iron, then explains how these materials are used in building cylindrical, spherical and flat boiler components, including riveted joints. The author carefully explains the engineering and mathematics surrounding how various forces can strain boiler components and includes practical examples of how to calculate those forces. The text was originally published in response to the need for an accessible guide to boilers, and its clear prose and diagrams have made it a useful resource for generations of boilermakers and engineers.
