Excerpt from Pumping Machinery a Treatise on the History, Design, Construction, and Operation of Various, Forms of Pumps
The book is intended for the use of those Who have studied hydraulics, mechanics, and the strength of materials. It is intended to develop certain general principles of mechanics Which are applicable to pumping machinery as Well as to train the, student in application of certain of the theoretical portions of the studies of an engineering course.
The first two chapters are devoted to the development of pumping machinery, because the author feels the need, of all engineers, of a more intimate knowledge of the great works of the early members of the profession. The pump is so closely allied With the steam engine in early times that this history traces the early ferms of that machine.
