Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Locomotive Engine: Including a Description of Its Structure, Rules for Estimating Its Capabilities, and Practical Observations on Its Construction and Management

The absence of any purely practical work on American locomotives has induced the preparation of the following pages devoted to that subject. It is believed the book will afford to the student a clear idea of the nature and mode of application of steam power, while to those engaged in the manufacture and operation of engines it will afford much useful matter connected with their construction and management.
