Excerpt from An Elementary Manual of the Steam Engine: Containing Also a Chapter on the Theory, Construction and Operation of Internal Combustion Engines for the Operating Engineer
The author has for some years been engaged as an instructor in engineering. He has enjoyed intimate acquaintance with students and with young men engaged in the actual Operation of steam plants. Many students of steam engineering, while they may have had excel lent training in mathematics and general science, are yet so immature that they do not readily make practical application of their general knowledge; and the aver age Operating man, despite his experience, realizes his lack of adequate grasp of fundamental principles a lack which hampers his advancement.
To help both classes of men, teaching them to think and to reason, they must be taught the subject in a manner which may supplement their present partial knowledge.
