Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light, Heat and Power in Buildings In this volume the object is to present in compact form the main facts on which selection of the sources for light, heat and power in buildings should be based. The problem for which a solution is sought is to determine the kind of equipment that will yield the service require in any case at the least total cost. Such a purpose leaves little room for discussions of theory relating to any particular class of apparatus, which has already been done in separate and larger volumes. It follows that the only novelty to be expected here is that of arrangement, by which the costs of service from widely different sources are set down side by side. Should this arrangement prove convenient for those charged with the selection of apparatus for light, heat and power, the labor spent on the following pages will have accomplished its purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heating and Ventilating Buildings: An Elementary Treatise Heat is recognized by a bodily sensation, that of feeling, by means of which we are able to determine roughly by com parison that one body is warmer or colder than another. From a scientific standpoint heat is a peculiar form of energy, similar in many respects to electricity or light, and is capable, under favorable conditions, of being reduced into either of the above or into mechanical work. We shall have little to do with the theoretical discussion of its nature, but, as it is well to have a distinct understanding of its various forms and equivalents, we will consider briefly some Of its important properties.

I would like to inquire, preliminarily, have any of you gentlemen thought this matter out far enough to have any definite ideas concerning where that plant that is to furnish this heat, power, and light could be placed? Mr. Cass gilbert. I am only here as representing the Commission of Fine Arts. Mr. Jennings asked me if I had studied it. I will say that the matter has not come before the Commission of Fine Arts.

Download or read book The Power Makers written by Maury Klein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maury Klein is one of America's most acclaimed historians of business and society. In The Power Makers, he offers an epic narrative of his greatest subject yet - the "power revolution" that transformed American life in the course of the nineteenth century. The steam engine; the incandescent bulb; the electric motor-inventions such as these replaced backbreaking toil with machine labor and changed every aspect of daily life in the span of a few generations. The cast of characters includes inventors like James Watt, Elihu Thomson, and Nikola Tesla; entrepreneurs like George Westinghouse; savvy businessmen like J.P. Morgan, Samuel Insull, and Charles Coffin of General Electric. Striding among them like a colossus is the figure of Thomas Edison, who was creative genius and business visionary at once. With consummate skill, Klein recreates their discoveries, their stunning triumphs and frequent failures, and their unceasing, bare-knuckled battles in the marketplace. In Klein's hands, their personalities and discoveries leap off the page. The Power Makers is a dazzling saga of inspired invention, dogged persistence, and business competition at its most naked and cutthroat--a biography of America in its most astonishing decades.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Board of Gas and Electric Light Commissioners of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: January, 1895 The copartnership of Durrell, Fitz Ainsley are tenants for a term of ten years of the building on the southeast corner of Essex and Kingston Streets, in Boston. This property is owned in fee by the Boston Real Estate Trust, an associa tion formed under a trust agreement with a capital of five millions of dollars, to own and lease real estate in the city of Boston, and owning more than twenty different estates in that city. On the opposite side of Essex Street is the Lawrence building, belonging to the trustees under the will of Sarah E. Lawrence. In the basement of the building leased by the appellees, the Boston Real Estate Trust constructed a steam plant used for heat, power, and for running the dynamo of the electric light plant. The appellees Operate under their lease this heat, power and electric light plant, and have been selling heat, power and light to the other occupants of the building in which they conduct their large dry goods business. The appellees, hav ing a surplus of heat and power, desired to sell the same to Wheeler, Blodgett Co., tenants of the building owned by the Lawrence estate, and also, after the fire of 1893, in rebuilding, made arrangements with their landlord to con struct the electric light plant so that it should be large enough to supply the Lawrence building. On July 3, 1893, the Lawrence estate petitioned the Board of Aldermen of the city of Boston for permission to lay a tube or pipe across Essex Street from their estate to the estate of the Boston Real Estate Trust, and for permission to place steam pipes in the same for the purpose of supplying heat and power to their building. This petition was granted on August 15, 1893, and a permit to open the street was issued. When the trench was Opened, in addition to the pipe named in the petition a sec ond pipe was laid therein by the appellees, for the purpose of running the electric light wires involved in this appeal. Subsequently, the Aldermen passed the order appealed against, which permitted electric wires to be carried through the second pipe to connect the two buildings.
