Excerpt from Hand-Book of the Locomotive: Including the Construction, Running, and Management of Locomotive Engines and Boilers; With Illustrations
The writer has had an experience of over thirty years with all classes of steam-engines and boilers, and in the preparation of this little book his aim has been to convey his meaning by means of plain language, with familiar and practical illustrations for the instruction of those who are intrusted with the care and management of locomotive engines and boilers. The range of subjects comprehends every thing directly connected with the locomotive engine and boiler. To most of the articles, tables have been appended and examples introduced to make the sub jects treated upon more forcible and distinct.
In that part of the work devoted to the Theory of the Locomotive, the writer has, endeavored to call the attention of the young engineer to the study of the constituent elements of water, air, heat, oom bustion, steam, etc., so that in after years he may be able to determine with accuracy whether he is de riving the greatest amount of practical advantage from the several quantities of impulsive power those elements may be capable of supplying.
