Synopsis
Practical guidance for designing steam-powered machinery
This second part of a classic engineering text covers engine details, with clear rules, worked examples, and illustrations to help you translate theory into safe, efficient designs. It emphasizes dynamic problems, valve gear choices, and the always-important balance between strength and function.
This edition updates a widely used reference for students and practitioners, showing how to apply strength data, proportions, and practical checks to real machine parts. You’ll find systematic approaches that explain why certain forms and dimensions are chosen, and how to avoid common drafting and fitting pitfalls in day-to-day work.- Rules and methods for sizing connecting rods, ends, and cranks with practical safety factors
- Guidance on forms of ends, strap and box configurations, and bearing details
- Discussion of lubrication methods, from simple wick systems to positively driven lubricators
- Illustrations and example calculations that connect theory to workshop practice
