Excerpt from Locomotive Operation: A Technical and Practical Analysis The object of this work is to give a complete and systematic discussion of the theory and practice of locomotive operation. By this is meant the work or results accomplished by a loco motive in motion, together with the effect upon itself and the track, and the amount of fuel and water needed to perform such work, rather than an exclusive treatise upon the mere manipulation of the machine, though the latter naturally forms a part of the study in connection with the proper manner of procuring certain results. The order in which the different conditions are taken up is somewhat at variance with the usual custom. Inertia is first considered, as this property is inherent in all bodies having motion of a variable character. The Action of the Steam is next examined in detail, as to its power of producing rotation and strains in the various members of the mechanism. Resistance naturally follows, as it must be overcome by the action of the steam. This leads us to Slipping and Braking, which are the logical outcome of the previous studies. These prepare us for an examination of the Hauling Power at slow speeds, but in order to consider high speeds, the steam capacity of the boiler must be determined, which is first under taken. As the principal business of the locomotive is to haul trains, this is the most important chapter of the treatise, and it is placed in this part of the work, so that the various factors by which it is governed might be studied in an elementary man ner before the complication necessary for a complete under standing of it is encountered. After this follow determinations of the water and fuel consumption under different conditions, and their economical use.

Excerpt from Practical Locomotive Operating Brevity has been adhered to in the presenting of the several subjects, because the spirit of the times demands it, even in the discussing of the most important things. The mathematical formula employed and the accompanying examples are also abbreviated, for the process is immaterial, provided the result is correct and is susceptible of easy explanation. This has not been done for the purpose of encouraging engineers and firemen to avoid mathematics or to discard theory, but there seems no good reason why they should be compelled to read through pages of unrelated matter when the desired information can be presented in a few terse and intelligent paragraphs. No attempt has been made to describe the construction, manage ment, and manipulation of the air-brake, which, although allied to locomotive operating, is comprehensively treated in books devoted solely to that subject. Furthermore, the air-brake is just now in a process of development, and so a treatise here would probably burden the book with matter that will become obsolete in a few years. A few other special appliances are given no place here, that are either in an experimental stage or have but local application, as they in no way affect the general scheme of modern locomotive Operating, which is thoroughly explained. If we succeed in making the latter plain to the average engineer, fireman, and aspirant to those positions, our object will be attained.

Excerpt from Practical Questions on Locomotive Operating Composing this little volume is the response to the requests of my friends and fellow-workers. The work takes up nearly all the essential ques tions asked in the examinations for engineers in the Eastern District. The first series of questions are those asked in the examination for engineers on the Boston Maine System. The line up of the work is such that an answer to nearly any question in these examina tions may be found, in addition to several useful questions and answers involving Locomotive Oper ation.
