Synopsis
Excerpt from Morrison's Practical Engineer and Mechanics' Guide: Containing a Glance at the Early History of Steam; Its Application to Pumping; Its Later Use for Railroads and Steamboats; Its More Extensive Use for General Machinery
In presenting this book, it is not claimed that the rules, tables and formulas for calculation are entirely new, the author is largely indebted to such works as Haswell, Winslow, Briggs, Bacon and Howard, for which he makes due acknowledgement.
But seeing from many years intercourse with the class of men herein named, the great need of a practical treatise on Steam Engineering, pre sented in such a form as would be readily understood by those directly interested, and especially beneficial to young engineers, he cannot but hope this work will reach the class for whom it is intended, and be found interesting and helpful to them.
