First describing the various forms of Electrical Testing and Measuring
Instruments and their construction.
Secondly, their practical application to everyday work with numerous
examples worked out.
Thirdly, detailing the many tests of insulation resistance, current and

Using only formulas in simple algebra and then explaining them in plain
language for the benefit of practical men lacking a knowledge of
mathematics.
During the past ten years the author has made hundreds of tests, which
has made him familiar with the subject from the practical standpoint. He
has also obtained valuable information and diagrams from the principal
manufacturers of Testing Instruments. The apparatus described is modern
and in universal use.
Most of the diagrams have been specially drawn for this book.
The work is divided into XI. chapters as follows:
Introduction; Chapters I. and II, The Galvanometer; III, Rheostats; IV,

Alternating-Current Machinery
BEING VOL. II OF
Dynamo-Electric Machinery.
BY
SILVANUS P. THOMPSON, D.Sc., B.A., F.R.S.
Owing to the enormous increase in the use of electrical machinery since
the publication of the sixth edition of DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINERY the
author has deemed it advisable to divide the work. Vol. I. is devoted to
DIRECT CURRENT MACHINERY and this the second part. Vol. II. ALTERNATING
CURRENT MACHINERY. Amongst the many new features treated special mention
must be made of the number of fine colored plates of windings and the
many large folding scale drawings. These two volumes make the most
comprehensive and authoritative work on dynamo machinery. The work has
been so universally adopted that it has been found necessary to translate
it into French and German.
CONTENTS OF CHAPTERS.
1. Principles of Alternating Currents.
2. Periodic Functions.

AN ELEMENTARY TEXT-BOOK
ON STEAM ENGINES AND BOILERS,
FOR THE
USE OF STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.
BY J. H. KINEALY.
_Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Washington University._
Illustrated with Diagrams and Numerous Cuts, Showing American Types
and Details of Engines and Boilers.
This book is written solely as an elementary text-book for the use of
beginners and students in engineering, but more specially for the
students in the various universities and colleges in this country.
No attempt has been made to tell everything about any one particular
subject, but the author has endeavored to give the student an idea of
elementary thermodynamics, of the action of the steam in the cylinder of
the engine, of the motion of the steam valve, of the differences between
the various types of engines and boilers, of the generation of heat by
combustion, and the conversion of water into steam.
Care has been taken not to touch upon the design and proportion of the
various parts of engines and boilers for strength; as, in the opinion of
the writer, that should come after a general knowledge of the engine and
boiler has been obtained.
In the derivation of some of the formulÊ in thermodynamics, it has been
necessary to use the calculus, but the use of all mathematics higher than
algebra and geometry has been avoided as much as possible.
An earnest endeavor has been made to present the subject in a clear and
concise manner, using as few words as possible and avoiding all padding.
CONTENTS OF CHAPTERS.
Chapter I.--Thermodynamics; First Law of Thermodynamics; Work, Power;
Unit of Heat; Mechanical Equivalent; Application of Heat to Bodies;
Second Law of Thermodynamics; Specific Heat; Absolute Temperature;
Application of Heat to a Perfect Gas; Isothermal Expansion; Adiabatic
Expansion; Fusion; Vaporisation; Application of Heat to Water;
Superheated Steam. Chapter II.--Theoretical Heat Engine; Cycle;

The work has been thoroughly revised and enlarged
in accordance with the present American Practice.
By J. H. KINEALY, D. E., M. Am. Soc. Mech. E.
The work is based upon notes and diagrams which were prepared by Mr.
Tennant in his lectures to his classes of working engineers and students
towards the obtainment of clear _general_ notions upon the Slide Valve,
its design, varieties, adjustments and management. They have been revised
and considerably added to and in this form the authors believe they will
be of considerable value to all engineers and others interested in steam
engines.

Mechanical Draft.
BY
J. H. KINEALY, M. Am. Soc. M.E.
_Past President American Society Heating and Ventilating Engineers._
PREFACE.
In writing this book the author has assumed that those who will use it
are familiar with boilers and engine plants, and he has had in mind the
practicing engineer who is called upon to design power plants, and who
must therefore decide when it is best to use some form of mechanical
draft. The arrangement of the book is what the experience of the author
in making calculations for mechanical draft installations has shown him
is probably the best. And he has tried to arrange the tables in such a
way and in such a sequence that they may prove as useful to others as
they have to him.
CONTENTS OF CHAPTERS.
1. GENERAL DISCUSSION. Introduction; systems of mechanical draft;
chimneys v. mechanical draft; mechanical draft and economizers.
2. FORCED DRAFT. Systems; closed fire-room system; closed ashpit system;
small fan required; usual pressure; forced draft and economisers;

possible.

read and revised. XIV. + 206 pages, 39 diagrams. Full limp leather

CHARTS FOR
LOW PRESSURE STEAM HEATING
for the use of
ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, CONTRACTORS AND
STEAM FITTERS.
By J. H. KINEALY, M.E.
_M. Am. Soc. M. E., M. Am. Soc. of H. and V. Eng'rs, &c., &c._
The author has long been in the habit of using charts to aid him in his
work. Knowing the value of them in saving time, simplifying work and
ensuring correct calculations he feels confident that they will be
appreciated by engineers, architects and contractors, for whose benefit
they have been compiled. Care has been taken to make the charts as clear
and as easily understood and, above all, as accurate as possible. They
have been based upon theoretical considerations, modified by what is
considered to be good practice in this country.
CHART 1.--This chart is for determining the number of square feet of
heating surface of a low pressure steam heating system, pressure not to
exceed 5 lbs. per square inch by the gauge, necessary to supply the heat
lost through the various kinds of wall surfaces of rooms. The chart is
divided into four parts. CHART 2.--For determining the diameters of the
supply and return pipes for a heating system. CHART 3.--For finding the
number of square feet of boiler heating surface and the number of square
feet of grate surface for a boiler that is to supply steam to a steam
heating system. CHART 4.--For determining the area of the cross section
of a square flue, or the diameter of a round flue, leading from an
indirect radiation heater to the register in a room to be heated.
Full details are given for the use of these cards.
These four charts are printed on heavy white card-board and bound
together with cloth, size 13 in. by 9-1/4 in., $1.00[++].
_These cards are securely packed for mail and sent to any part of the
World on receipt of price._

Gas Analyst's Manual.
By JAQUES ABADY, M. Inst. Mech. E.
_(Incorporating F. W. Hartley's "Gas Analyst's Manual" and "Gas
Measurement.)"_
EXTRACT FROM PREFACE.
The numerous requests received by the Publishers for the late Mr. F. W.
Hartley's "Gas Analyst's Manual" and "Gas Measurement" form the
justification of the present work, which embodies practically the entire
contents of those two volumes. It has been found, however, that their
scope was too narrow to comply with modern requirements in various
directions, although ample at the time they were written, and so I have
ventured to add such extensions as appeared to be necessary in order to
meet the demand which exists for a comprehensive work on Gas Apparatus
and its use.
This large work has been in course of preparation for the past three
years by Mr. Jaques Abady, and has been very carefully revised by other
experts.
Many valuable tables of data have been included, a number of which come
from the private note books of the Author, being practically results
obtained by him during many years of work as Expert, Gas Engineer and
Gas-Works Materials Manufacturer.
