A Practical Treatise on Locomitive Engines Founded on Experiments With Many Different Engines to Which Is Added, an Appendix (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Locomitive Engines Founded on Experiments With Many Different Engines to Which Is Added, an Appendix
There exists no special work on locomotive engines. Two writers, Wood and Tredgold, have indeed, in England, slightly touched upon that matter, but only in a subordinate manner, in treatises on railways; and, besides, they both wrote at a time when the art was scarcely beyond its birth. Consequently their ideas, their calculations, and even the experiments they describe, have hardly any relation to the facts which actually pass before our eyes, and can be of no use to such as wish to acquire a knowledge of these engines and their employ on railways.
Many questions had not even been entered into, others had been solved in a faulty manner. New researches on the subject became therefore indispensable.
