Reseña del editor

The object of the present little work is twofold. Starting with the assumption that the reader knows nothing except what an engine is and the AB Cof mathematics and mechanics, it aims primarily at describing and explaining clearly a series of easy constructions for use in the drawing office. Many of these have been devised by the author for practical purposes, and almost all have been used by him in practice, so that he is sure of their utility. For those young mechanics who wisely or unwisely usually the latter aspire to a position in the drawing office, and to junior draughtsmen, it is intended to convey an idea of the sort of mathematical knowledge that is required in designing engines on correct principles. The second object is to show the intimate relation that must necessarily exist between the science of engineering and the exact principles of what is called theoretical mechanics. The book has been written in the firm belief derived from experience both in teaching and practical work that the most necessary educational equipment of the engineer is a thorough knowledge of elementary scientific mechanics, for it enables the practical man to keep a clear head in thinking out problems which without it would confuse him hopelessly. If the student IX)ssesses this knowledge, he will meet with very little real difficulty in any practical book on any branch of engineering he may take up. If he does not even if he substitutes for it what is called applied mechanics, a term usually given to the description of superficial phenomena which require theoretical mechanics for their full explanation he will find many useful books full of confusing statements which he cannot understand.
