Excerpt from Preparing for Indication: Practical Hints, the Result of Twenty-Three Years' Experience With the Steam Engine Indicator
There is all the greater necessity for this because the existing books upon the steam engine indicator, while tolerably full in their instructions about how to take cards and to read them after being taken, are very meagre in practical directions how to pipe up and hitch on.
There are dozens of other possible ways of making the reducing motion and of attaching, but I believe that those which I give are the simplest and give the most correct results; and there is no use complicating matters and confusing the recipient.
