Download or read book The Motorman and His Duties written by Ludwig Gutmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Motorman and His Duties: A Handbook of Theory and Practice for Operating Electric Cars The purpose of this work is to so familiarize the reader with the operation of an electric car, that the practical du ties of a motorman may be the more easily and quickly learned. At the same time it will be found to explain, in simple language devoid of mathematics and technicalities, many points not generally understood by the average mo torman, and a knowledge of which cannot fail to make his services more valuable to his company and satisfactory to himself; and also to better fit him for promotion. The motorman who understands his business is able to operate the cars that are put in his charge with much less danger of accident, and with less power and less wear on the equipment, than a man who simply knows how to get his car over the road on time. This book is not only in tended to explain the electrical part of an electric motor car, but to give some general instruction and advice to those who desire to make this work their livelihood. It is based on the experience gathered for a number of years in the electric railway field, instructing motormen in their duties and work, and on results and observations made on roads in practical life. To explain some electrical effects it has been necessary to adopt a few comparisons, which, while not exactly correct from a scientific standpoint, give the reader a clear picture of what is meant.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Motorman and Conductor, Vol. 31: December 1922 The facts presented above prove that the subsidy bill will benefit neither the farmer nor the wage earner. In fact, instead of insuring decent pay for American seamen, it robs them of the little protection they now enjoy. Obviously the bill does not benefit the taxpayers of the country, but gives away for a son the vessels bought with their money, and olds them up to the extent of fifty million dollars or more per year for the enrichment of a few favored ship owners.

Download or read book Clementine Classics Sister Carrie written by Clementine The Hedgehog and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes reading the classics is a chore, but not so with the snarky annotations by Clementine the Hedgehog. Having made her debut as a weekly book reviewer of note on Tumblr in 2012, Clem now takes on Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser. On each page, she inserts her keen insights, dark sense of humor, and cut–the–crap commentary, crafting a 21st–century literary criticism for distraction addicts everywhere. "This is obviously my favorite review to date, as it was WRITTEN BY A HEDGEHOG, and COMES WITH A HEDGEHOG GIF."—Emma Straub "Tumblr book review series of the year."—Rachel Fershleiser, head of Tumblr literary outreach Clementine Classics, a new series from Black Balloon Publishing, gives classic works of literature the contemporary annotations they deserve. Obsessed, possessed, and thoroughly distressed by the originals, today's writers riff, rant, praise, and flay these old books, giving them new life. The series' beautifully designed e–books are both an act of sincere literary criticism and a new, composite form of humor writing.
Download or read book Meanwhile written by R.C. Harvey and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2007-07-12 with total page 955 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comprehensive biography of one of the 20th century's most influential cartoonists, the legendary creator of Steve Canyon and Terry and the Pirates. This book analyzes his storytelling techniques, examines his artistic innovations and work routines, and serves as a history of the medium. Milton Caniff was one of the most influential American cartoonists of the 20th century. He rose to prominence during World War II when he took the characters in his Terry and the Pirates strip into the war. The trenchant pragmatic patriotism of the strip warmed hearts and steeled nerves on the home front as well as the battlefront (one of his strips was read into the Congressional Record). He went on to create Steve Canyon, which was syndicated from 1947 to Caniff's death in 1988. Meanwhile... traces Caniff's life from the cradle to the grave, examining the artistic innovations and work routines of a nationally distributed cartoonist whose career was central to the development of the art form, and marking the milestones in the development of the comic strip that Caniff established. Caniff reshaped the medium and set standards by which all storytelling strips were subsequently judged. He created many colorful characters, including the stalwart Pat Ryan from Terry and the Pirates, Burma the shady lady, and, most memorable of all, the Dragon Lady, a beautiful but mysteriously menacing pirate queen who turned Chinese patriot during the War. WhileMeanwhile... provides a biography of Caniff and analyzes his storytelling techniques, it also serves as a history of the medium and reveals the inner workings of the syndicate business (at which Caniff was as expert as he was at cartooning). The book charts Caniff's rise to fame and fortune, then recounts the decline of his stripSteve Canyon's popularity (whose protagonist served as an unofficial spokesman for the U.S. Air Force from the Korean War until the end of the strip in 1988) when the same brand of patriotism that had inspired admiration during World War II provoked protest during Vietnam, a bittersweet conclusion to a career spent producing a daily feature for 55 years, a record that would stand for a generation.
