Excerpt from Hydraulic Power Engineering: A Practical Manual on the Concentration and Transmission of Power by Hydraulic Machinery

This work may be regarded as a successor to a smaller volume by the same Author on "Hydraulic Machinery," published in 1891, which he prepared with a view to the assistance of engineering students and others who might be practically interested in the subject.

In the present volume an attempt is made to give an outline discussion and description of the main points and principles requiring attention by engineers having the responsibility of designing or constructing works and appliances for the utilisation of water for the transmission of power.

It would be impossible in any single volume to deal adequately or comprehensively with the many problems arising in the different sections into which the very large subject of Hydraulics and Hydraulic Engineering naturally divides itself. The Author, therefore, has contented himself with giving examples which have special reference to the particular sections in which they occur; and in addition, he has endeavoured to lead up to the general subject by a brief examination of the principles underlying the whole study.
