A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK on Excavations, Foundations, Structures,
Millwrighting, Shafting, Belting, Piping, Boilers, Engines, Installing
Machinery, etc.
In order to become an expert at the _erection and operation of modern
machinery and appliances_, judgment must be added to execution; now
as judgment cannot be taught in writing, further than in laying down
certain principles of procedure, therefore the book is largely personal.
The method of instruction followed is to deal with the various subjects
mentioned, each consisting of nearly the same number of pages and
illustrations, indicating the course of study.
Working Drawings, Foundations, Excavating, Piling and Grillage, Brick
Work, Concrete, Reinforced Concrete, Millwright’s Tools, Steel Square
and its uses, Bridge Work, Structures, Scaffolding and Stagging,
Rigging Knots. Hitches and Splices, Chains and Tackle, Steel Structure
Work, Roofing, Blacksmithing. Tool Dressing, Belting and Pulleys,
Shafting Lining, Speeds, Piping and Joints, Plumbing, Steam Boilers
and Accessories, Chimneys, Drafts, Steam Engine Operation, Engine
Foundations. Valve Setting, Water Power Installations, Steam Turbines,
Pumping Machinery, Electrical Installations, Motors, Wiring, etc.,
Refrigerating Systems, Rules, Receipts, Metallic Compositions, Useful
Tables. Ready Reference Index.
By following this plan, and with the aid of the ready reference index
to be found at the end of the volume, the work becomes a reference
book, as well as a course of systematic study in Mill Engineering.
This volume is convenient in size, handsomely and durably bound in
black cloth, having gold edges and titles; containing 600 pages,
illustrated by over 500 drawings and illustrations of practical
work. It is in every way a generously good book both in contents and
manufacture.
