Excerpt from Indicator Diagrams: A Treatise on the Use of the Indicator and Its Application to the Steam Engine
The usefulness of the Indicator as a steam engine analyser is now universally acknowledged, and the engineer who has to either make or use an engine must feel at a disadvantage if he has not some knowledge of how to analyse its working by means of this instrument.
The complete story, as written by the Indicator pencil, ofttimes can only be interpreted by the assistance of much experience, together with clear ideas as to the capacity of the instrument to record the truth. In the following pages the author has endeavoured to give the result of a certain amount of experience as well as to indicate in what direction to look for those irregularities commonly found under ordinary conditions of use.
