Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 1889 exploration of the Victorian era development of pumping engines and steam pumps used in mines to remove water.

Bjorling, a mechanical engineer, provides a detailed historical and technical examination of steam pumps, describing how engineers continually tinkered with and improved them. The author presents designs from a variety of manufacturers and offers a detailed description of the valves that were key to these innovations with chapters discussing those actuated both positively and negatively by steam. Through its exhaustive detail, this book highlights the continuous process of innovation that improved these machines, thereby contributing to the growth of mining and industrial production.
