Excerpt from New Catechism of the Steam Engine: With Chapters on Gas, Oil and Hot Air Engines
The reader is invited in the succeeding pages to examine down to almost microscopic detail the greatest physical thing on earth. To describe the steam engine, to show how skillful one may be in detecting faults in one machine and the superiorities in another, indeed is the most contemptible occupation a writer of a general treatise could perform.
But, to describe, to show how beautiful and how truly admirable in finish and in powers of execution is the modern steam engine, is not indeed the highest, but quite one of the pleasantest and most useful of tasks, and the author feels that it is within his range of power, i. e., to admire and to describe and in a measure at the same time to instruct.
With a high appreciation for noble results achieved, this book is dedicated to the Designers and Builders of the modern steam engine, and the added desire is now expressed, and the kindly suggestion made that these two, the designers and builders of high class engines, should join in fraternal association and each quarter year meet to consult upon matters of mutual profit, to feast together and go away with a wish to meet such good company again.
To such a representation could safely be confided the collection of statistics, the upholding of the dignity of the professional part of the calling, the avoidance of undue competition in prices, and a hundred other advantages, not the least of which would be the discussion of how to meet the new opponent of the steam engine to be found in electrical power creation, from water, gas, etc.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an updated reference to stationary, locomotive, marine, and portable engines plus gas, air, and oil engines. At its core is the aim to aid engineers seeking to use their knowledge and practical experience to move up to greater responsibilities or who desire a broader knowledge of the general subject for other reasons. The author brings a particular focus to stationary, marine engines, and valve construction as well as theoretical principles which are presented as hints and suggestions rather than a formal statement of abstract principles. Early steam engines are also discussed at some length alongside information on the great advances made in this field in the last few years and into the early 20th century when this book was written.
