Excerpt from The Practical Application of the Slide Valve and Link Motion to Stationary, Portable, Locomotive, and Marine Engines: With New and Simple Methods for Proportioning the Parts
Link and Valve Motions has had a phenomenal sale during the past twenty-five years. It has proved itself both a standard authority with Mechanical Engineers and Draughtsmen, and a valued textbook with Colleges and Technical Schools. Its market has not been confined to the United States, but it has found ready sale in Great Britain. It was so favorably considered by the noted journal - "Engineering, of London" - that it closed its critical review of the book with these words:
"All the matters we have mentioned are treated with a clearness and absence of unnecessary verbiage, which renders the work a peculiarly valuable one. The Travel Scale only requires to be known to be appreciated. Mr. A. writes so ably on his subject, we wish he had written more."
About ten years ago, Julius Springer, of Berlin, published Link and Valve Motions in German under the title:
Schieber und Coulissensteurungen, edited by Herr A. Müller, Chief Engineer of the Borsig Locomotive Works.
In the present Edition the Author has carefully eliminated all abstruse formulæ, because he considers it absurd to invoke the aid of higher mathematics for the solution of everyday problems in Link and Valve Motion.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a method for determining the proportions and dimensions of the slide valve in a steam engine. It demonstrates how to calculate the valve's travel, lap, and lead, as well as the dimensions of the steam and exhaust ports. The author begins by explaining the basic principles of steam engine operation and the relationship between the piston and valve motions. Using a graphical method called the Travel Scale, the author provides a simple and rapid way to determine the valve's proportions for a given cut-off, or the point at which the steam supply to the cylinder is shut off. The book also discusses the effects of lead and inside lap on valve operation and provides practical examples to illustrate the application of the Travel Scale. By following the author's clear and concise instructions, readers can design and construct slide valves that will operate efficiently and effectively, leading to improvements in the performance and efficiency of steam engines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
