Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This in-depth dictionary of terms delineates the technological vocabulary of late 19th century freight and passenger railcar design and construction in the United States. Published in 1888, it documents the rapid pace of advancement that brought about an abrupt departure from traditional British norms. The author was a qualified railway engineer, and his extensive knowledge of technical terms for parts from individual manufacturers is a testament to his immense familiarity with his subject. The author's encyclopedic account of the rail vocabulary encompasses both the major components of rail cars, such as wheels, trucks, and frames, as well as smaller yet still significant parts, including bolts, locks, and springs. Also included are specialized compartments found on many cars, such as urinals and water closets. The dictionary also identifies the parts of railroad cranes and derricks, which were frequently utilized as part of the freight train system. This book is an invaluable tool for historians and preservationists, providing a precise vocabulary from the era when America's iconic rail system was established. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282487614_0
