Summary
This book was written with its goal of being a textbook, and its use in a classroom, continually kept in mind. Mechanical form and manner of working are illustrated by selected, typical examples of construction. Rational theory is built up from fundamental concepts to the fully-developed steam engine; and actual performance is studied and compared with the idea, an especial effort being made to set forth clearly and logically the empirical knowledge which must fill the gap between them.
