Synopsis

This book is an essential guide to practical mechanics, containing useful propositions and rules related to steam engines. Assembled by an author who was a prominent civil and mechanical engineer, it builds upon what is termed the principle of work, providing a comprehensive study of the subject. The book begins with a historical overview of mechanics before the introduction of mathematical equations, then proceeds to explore themes of friction, gravity, and energy. It concludes with explorations of hydrostatic presses, anti-friction cam-presses, and other important engineering topics. Through this work, the author presents a clear and accessible framework for understanding practical mechanics, making it a valuable resource for students and practitioners alike.
