Excerpt from Mechanical Engineering for Beginners
Of books dealing with the various branches of Mechanical Engineering there is an immense choice. Reliable text-books can be found dealing with almost any subject upon which an engineer can desire information; but when asked by a beginner, say by a youth whose friends have just placed him as an apprentice or pupil with a firm of mechanical engineers, to recommend an inexpensive and up-to-date book on engineering, one finds some difficulty in making a selection.
To the author it appears that what a beginner really needs is a book which, while giving in broad outlines the information it is necessary to possess concerning the ordinary branches of mechanical engineering, yet shall go sufficiently into detail to enable him to make all the calculations likely to be required during the earlier stages of his career.
It has been the aim of the author in the following pages to state in clear language some of the elementary facts connected with mechanical engineering, and to show how the simple calculations which have to be made from time to time by every engineer and draughtsman can be performed.
Theory is introduced in places where its bearing on practice can be seen and understood. For instance, the theory of raising steam is dealt with after the reader has been introduced to the various types of boiler in use and has learnt something of the merits and demerits of each.
