This scarce text comprises a relatively small volume containing
everything engineers and students of engineering need to know about
steam turbines. Intended as manual for the practical engineer designing,
operating or manufacturing steam turbines, this text will also briefly
explains directly some of the important problems a qualified steam
engineer may encounter and must have knowledge on. Originally intended
for the author's assistants, it was later decided that it could greatly
benefit the field in general and was published accordingly. Although
old, a great deal of the information contained herein still has
relevance today and, as such, this text remains a must-have for
students, practitioners, and enthusiasts alike. Originally published in
1908, we proudly republish this scarce text with an introductory
biography of the author.
