Synopsis

Excerpt from Key to Ready Reference for Locomotive Engineers and Firemen

Having been frequently urged by Engineers and Firemen, and, because I frequently receive letters ask ing for reasons why certain instructions that are given. In my Ready Reference should be followed, I have prepared this work. I feel it a duty to contribute as far as lays in my power all information that I have to my fellow beings, especially to those who are engaged in my own occupation. I have been further prompted to issue this work because of my early experience in learning the locomotive business. It was a common custom in those days if a cub asked a Jour for information, to get the reply go find out yourself as I did Those old chaps usually kept all of their knowledge corked up as secrets, and there are yet some people who are unwilling to become man helpers and let their light shine.

Some of the items in the 'ready Reference need no explanation and are not noticed in this work.
