Excerpt from Steam-Engine Design, Vol. 2: For the Use of Mechanical Engineers, Students, and Draughtsmen
The following pages treat of the application of the principles of mechanics to the design of the parts of a steam-engine of any type, or for any duty. They also treat of auxiliary attachments and constructive details. These are illustrated by numerous drawings.
The various technical journals and the works of Rankine, Weisbach, Zeuner, Seaton, Marks, Donaldson, Van Buren, Rose, and others have been freely consulted, and due credit has been given. Chapters VII and VIII were written by P. A. Engineer Asa M. Mattice, U. S. Navy, and are here published, for the first time, by his kind permission. Special mention is due P. A. Engineer John C. Kafer, U. S. Navy, who delivered at the U. S. Naval Academy a course of lectures on the steam-engine to the author's class, as these lectures have formed, to some extent, the basis of this work.
