Notes on Steam Engineering: Arranged for the Use of Officers of the Old Line of the Navy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Steam Engineering: Arranged for the Use of Officers of the Old Line of the Navy
My special aim has been to prepare something that will be of value to the officers of the old line, who not only may be hereafter called upon to perform duties with which they now have little familiarity, but who will certainly be required to pass examina tions in steam engineering. Having this end in view, I have felt that I could better appreciate the obscure points in the text before me than could some person more familiar with the subject. In other words, possessing little knowledge of the subject myself, I have felt that I could find the points that would prove difficult to others in a similar situation better than one of the 'old engineer officers could. This, therefore, is my apology for attempting the work.
I have contributed nothing to the text except the work of ar rangement and revision, and throughout have received every assistance from the officers of the Bureau of Steam Engineering, by whom my work has been carefully revised.
I trust that steam engineering experts will look with sympathy on this work and forgive its many faults. It is not intended for their use. I also hope that my labors may prove of some service to the many officers who are in the same situation that I am.
