About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Cadet Engineer, or Steam for the Student

IN this little work we have designedly avoided deep theoretical research, and have aimed rather to supply practical information.

Theoretical works can be obtained in profusion, but treatises on the practical part of engineering are more rare. It is to be hoped that the idea of intro dacing familiar topics, and things that (in common parlance) everybody knows, will meet with favor.
