Synopsis
A Catechism Of The Steam Engine by John Bourne. This practical work presents a question-and-answer introduction to the steam engine, balancing theoretical principles with engineering practice. Bourne explains the basic concepts of vacuum and the differences between high- and low-pressure engines, single-acting and double-acting cylinders, rotative and condensing types, governors, fly-wheels, and the fundamental forces that govern moving machinery. It surveys steam expansion and condensation, the effects of boiler pressure, and the use of expansion to save fuel, with rules for calculating horsepower, duty, and fuel consumption. The text also covers construction and operation details: slide and expansion valves, condensers and condensate handling, pump arrangements, and boiler design (Cornish and locomotive), steam pipes, and the feeding and management of steam-vessels and pumping engines. The tone is practical and instructional, intended as an accessible introduction or supplement to fuller treatises, and it remains a foundational reference for engineers and students of the steam era.
