Soft cover. Condition: Good. "A Double-Action Magazine"; Robert A. W. Lowndes, Editor. This rare issue contains 10 stories and features, with an additional item by Len Turner. Titles will be gladly supplied on request; numerous illustrations; 100 pages. CONDITION: an unmarked, complete copy (but for a couple small chips on the front cover), creased on the front cover along the spine (see accompanying scan image), with a light glue stain at the rear spine edge and on the back cover. I'd grade this copy higher, but it has a bit of spine roll - a common magazine flaw resulting from folding the pages all the way around to the back when reading. This nevertheless quite respectable copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with backing board.

It was the railroad internet of its day and allowed professional railroaders to learn about new developments in the industry and a forum for publishing news of their own improvements or ideas about railroading. As such, many individuals who became prominent civil engineers wrote articles for this publication. Today, American Railroad Journal is a window to the early days of American Railroading. The nation did not yet have sufficient domestic industrial capacity to produce the steel and iron needed to construct railroad track and in the 1830s had only a nascent locomotive industry. A great deal of practical knowledge was imported from England and the railroads that had been established there, but because of the unique problems of American geography, much practical knowledge had to be gained from experience.".

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the thermal conductivity of fireclay, a material commonly used in the construction of boiler furnaces and other industrial settings. The author investigates the relationship between the temperature and conductivity of fireclay, conducting a series of experiments to measure the variation in conductivity across a range of temperatures. Beyond establishing a clear correlation between temperature and conductivity, the author examines the effect of this relationship on the material's performance in high-temperature environments, yielding valuable insights for engineers seeking to optimize furnace design and efficiency. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The book is a preliminary report on an investigation into principles for the efficient combustion of coal in industrial and residential boilers. It is one of the first books by the newly-established U.S. Bureau of Mines, and is the result of early research into the causes of energy waste and smoke pollution. The book's context is approximately 1910, when burning coal to heat homes and power machines was transitioning from a domestic activity into a large-scale industrial process. The introductory chapter presents the first official research into the effects of airflow, heating temperatures, coal quality, and combustion chamber design on the amount of soot and gases that escape from boilers. By altering these variables in a controlled furnace, the author was able to observe how they each influenced the conversion of coal to gases and heat. As a result, this book contains a wealth of historically significant data, meticulously collected and carefully analyzed. It provides a fundamental understanding of the engineering principles behind combustion efficiency, and was foundational in the development of modern combustion technologies that we still use today.
