Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ... who entertain very hazy notions on this subject have not been backward in airing their theories on steam-jacketing in their steam-engine catalogues. While engine-builders display a lack of knowledge on this subject, it is not surprising that steam-users and engine-drivers either hold curious notions or are totally uninformed on the subject. This may be in some measure accounted for by the paucity of the literature devoted to the consideration of steam-jacketing; and scarcely any reference had been made to the maltreatment of the steam-jacket previous to the publication of the author's little book on the subject. We believe the want of information of a practical type is one of the chief causes of this endless contention respecting the utility of the steam-jacket. There are, however, some indications that more interest is being taken in the practical part of the subject. So we may reasonably hope that, before long, it will receive all the attention from the hands of steam-engine makers which it really deserves. In the meantime, however, the economising influence of the steam-jacket is, in numerous instances, counteracted, if not totally destroyed, arising from:--1. Faulty designing. 2. Defective construction. 3. Inattention on the part of the engine driver. The steam-jacket constitutes a very important and valuable detail of the steam-engine: yet, in its design The Abuse of the Steam-Jacket Practically Considered, &c. London: E. & F. N. Spon, 125 Strand. 1878. and construction, it has not received a tithe of the attention that other parts of equal, or less importance, have; consequently, it is, in far too many instances, little better than a sham, and serves to exhibit the carelessness or ignorance of the designer. Now, a defect in the design of any ...
