THE work is designed for the use of erecting and operating engineers,
superintendents, and students of steam engineering, relating, as it
does, to the economical use of steam.
The following is a general outline of the subjects defined, illustrated
and presented most helpfully in the book.
Preparing the Indicator for use; Reducing Motions; Piping up Indicator;
Taking Indicator Cards; The Diagram; Figuring Steam consumption by the

well-informed engineer and will undoubtedly be highly appreciated and a
stepping-stone toward promotion and better things.
