A Manual of Marine Engineering, written by Albert Edward Seaton and published in 1890, is a comprehensive guide to the designing, construction, and operation of marine machinery. The book covers a wide range of topics related to marine engineering, including the principles of steam and gas engines, boilers, pumps, and propellers. It also provides detailed information on the construction of various types of marine vessels, such as steamships, sailing ships, and warships. The book is intended as a practical guide for marine engineers, shipbuilders, and naval architects, and includes numerous diagrams, illustrations, and tables to aid in understanding the complex concepts and processes involved in marine engineering. Overall, A Manual of Marine Engineering is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of marine technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

Manual of Marine Engineering was written and first published, there have been many and extensive changes in marine engineering practice, due in great measure, if not entirely, to the supply of mild steel at a low price so low, indeed, that now it is quite as cheap as common iron. In 1880, the triple compound engine was little more than a dream; in fact, there were then many people who believed in, and continued to use, the ordinary expansive engine. The highest boiler pressure used by advanced and enterprising engineers was 100 I bs. per square inch, and few of them had ventured even so far as that. Steel crank-shafts, and other heavy forgings made of steel, were looked upon as luxuries to be indulged in only by theB ritish andF oreign Governments, and wealthy corporations. At the present time ingot steel forgings are common enough, and not very much dearer than iron ones. Engines with three cranks were few and far between, and generally limited to very large compound engines, in which a single low-pressure cylinder would have been abnormally large. To-day, most of the ships recently built have engines with three cranks, and even tug boats and other small steamers are generally fitted with threecrank triple engines, while larger vessels not infrequently have four-crank triple and quadruple engines. In 1880, the torpedo boat, with its machinery, was looked upon as a toy, possibly useful enough in warfare, but not fit to stand the rough usage of everyday work; but the torpedo boat designer was really the pioneer to show the path that the marine engineer was to tread on his way to produce high-speed steamers of all kinds and of every size, from the huge cruiser to the small Channel passenger steamer.
