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.

Excerpt from Principles of Locomotive Operation and Train Control Theory is, in the main, our safest guide to trustworthy results. How true this was in the adeption of superheated steam for locomotives! Before its application, theory anticipated to a nicety the results which later were obtained in operation. This applies also to the practical applications of speed-time curves, as set forth in this volume. However, theory alone has its limitations and the locomotive testing plant has done much to stimulate new interest in the study of locomotive performance.

Excerpt from Some Recent Developments in Locomotive Practice The Members of the Royal Engineers' Institute, having done me the honour of preserving these letters by printing them among their professional papers, I venture with their kind permission to offer them to a wider public, in the hope that they may contain information interesting to others who watch the growth of Locomotive development in this country. The subject is set forth under the various headings and sub-sections which were given me as a synopsis on which to work, and which I have endeavoured to follow carefully in accordance with the wishes of the authorities.

Excerpt from American Compound Locomotives: A Practical Explanation of the Construction, Operation and Care of the Compound Locomotives in Use on American Railroads The principle of compounding steam engines, which was invented by Jonathan Hornblower in 1796, was practically unused in any form until Thomas Craddock began experimenting with a compound locomotive in April, 1844. Four years later (1848) he published a book called The Chemistry of the Steam Engine, in which he announced his belief in the practical superior ity of the compound feature and described his engine therein. This had but one eccentric, one valve, one crosshead, one connecting rod, and one steam box to serve both cylinders on one side. As the illustration of his first compound locomotive shows two crossheads and two rods, he evidently de cided that the fewest parts did not always mean the best machine. He still used but one valve, however, and had a fan condenser, claiming a vacuum of 24 inches. The cylinders were 6 and 14 inches in diame ter, which gave a ratio of 1 to much larger than is used at present. He used a pressure of 1 15 pounds, but was confident that a much higher pressure would be adopted in the near future. He named 200 pounds as probable, but it was many years before this became at all common. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
