Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Locomotive Valves and Valve Gears While it is true that there have been many good books published regarding the subject of valves and valve gears, it is, however, a regrettable fact that there is not a book on the market today treating the modern types from a strictly practical standpoint. In attempting to supply this deficiency, we have assumed no knowledge on the part of the reader re garding the subject, and, as a result, have devoted considerable space to elementary, or fundamental princi ples, so as to enable the apprentice or student to travel the road from early to modern practice with ease. Naturally, some of this information cannot be expected to be of much interest to the experienced man, but the author believes that a statement of the general principles, so compact in form and simple in arrangement that all herein contained can be thoroughly mastered, and be come a part of the mental stock of the reader, will be interesting and profitable. In fact, the work is presented with no journalistic pretensions, but special care has been take to use plain, common sense language, so that it may be understood by anyone who can read the English language. But, in the final analysis, the work must speak for itself - its value must be measured bythe merit its use may develop, its faults could not be diminished nor excused by anything the author might here say. While special efforts have been made to use the utmost accuracy, it is almost impossible to prepare a work of this nature entirely free from error, but the book is presented with a realization of its imperfections. If the reader will kindly call the publishers' attention to any errors, of omission or commission, he may find in the work, correction will be made in future editions, and the favor will be greatly appreciated.

Book Description
Excerpt from Valves and Valve Gears, Vol. 1: Steam Engines and Steam Turbines Much Of the material in this work has been arranged after ex tended visits to drafting rooms in which the work in valve gears was being carried on in a practical way, and it is believed that the methods here presented will be found to agree fairly well with general practice. In writing up the descriptions Of the practical forms of valves and valve gears the author has received numerous courtesies from manufacturers which are hereby acknowledged. It has been the rule to have the manufacturer Of the valve or gear or engine described to pass finally on the accuracy Of the description and Of the illustrations that appear in this work. Every illustration has been newly prepared for this edition. In order to avoid the use of subscripts in numbering the illustrations and paragraphs as the work Of preparation proceeded, and as changes and additions were made, the author laid out the work originally by leaving ten numbers free at the end Of each section. It will be found that these numbers have been all used at the end Of some of the sections and that none have been used at the end Of other sections. The page numbers, however, are in consecutive order throughout the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Treatise on Valve-Gears: With Special Consideration of the Link-Motions of Locomotive Engines The slide-valve gears are those which are most applied and most important, and as also they alone induce R theoretical studies of the distribution of steam effected through them, an investigation into the seldom-applied valve and cock-gears has been entirely omitted in the following treatise. The slide-valve consists generally of a hollowed plate, which moves backwards and forwards over the entrances of the steam-ports; or if the slide-valve acts as a ao-called expansion slide-valve, it only consists of a single plate, which may or may not have slots or ports for the admission of steam.
