Book excerpt: Excerpt from Locomotive Mechanism and Engineering There are many excellent books on the locomotive, but there is one portion of the subject which, in the author's opinion, has not yet been covered. The man who wishes to understand an engine thor oughly will learn more by watching repairs made in the. Shop, or in case of accident on the road, when the engine is disconnected, than if the method were de scribed to him in SO many words; for he thus sees the actual construction, break, and repairs.

Download or read book A Manual of Locomotive Engineering written by William Frank Pettigrew and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Locomotive Engineering: With an Historical Introduction IN this work the Locomotive Engine is looked at chiefly from the point of view of the Designer or Locomotive Draughtsman, and the scope and treatment have been mainly determined with reference to his needs. The require ments of the Engineer generally, who may desire to ascertain the practice of the Locomotive Engineer, and the needs of the Student have, however, also been kept steadily in view. The aim has been not only to set out the most successful and generally approved modern practice, but to set it out in such manner as to aid in its intelligent adaptation, in accordance with general mechanical principles, to changed conditions or to further development. At the same time the book is intended to be of a thoroughly practical nature; and the calculations which it has been necessary to employ are accordingly suited, as far as possible, for every day use in the Engineer's Drawing Omoe. There is given, after a brief historical introduction, an enumeration of particulars concerning the leading types and classes of locomotives at present in use in this country, both simple and compound. This is followed by a description of the methods of determining those factors or elements in the design of a locomotive which in large measure furnish the data for the subsequent working out of detail, but which themselves arise immediately from the conditions as to speed, loads, character of the roads, and so forth, prescribed, it may almost be said, to the Locomotive Engineer from with out. The detailed construction and design of the various parts and fittings of the modern locomotive are then dealt with in a series of chapters ending with the eighteenth, and material for a comparison between British and foreign practice is also afforded by the chapter on American and Continental locomotives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relive the romance and power of the steam locomotive era, the product of a century of continuous research and development. In the United States, the final decades of steam power were characterized by very large and capable locomotives. Beginning in the 1920s with Alco's three-cylinder types and Lima's "Super Power" concept, steam locomotive design crossed new thresholds of power and efficiency. A host of new wheel arrangements combined with innovative technology and new materials to create a final generation of refinement. Lima's Berkshire of 1925 demonstrated the value of the four-wheel radial trailing truck in its ability to support a firebox large enough to supply high power and fast running. Within a few years the 2-10-4 Texas, 4-6-4 Hudson, and 4-8-4 Northern had led the way, and by the late 1920s, large modern articulated types were taking shape. The Majesty of Big Steam is full of these late-era locomotives, the last generation of steam power before the diesels took over. Dramatic photos show Berkshires, Hudsons, and Northerns at work, as well as massive articulateds at their finest. Witness New York Central's Great Steel Fleet being whisked along behind some of the most refined American-designed engines. See Southern Pacific's cab-forward oil burners crest the California Sierra, and Baltimore & Ohio's EM-1 war babies lift tonnage over the Appalachian mountains. Norfolk & Western continued to refine 4-8-4s and articulated types, even as the rest of America was buying diesels, and ran these well-oiled machines longer than any other line. Don't miss a single one!
Download or read book Introduction to Mechanism Design written by Eric Constans and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Mechanism Design: with Computer Applications provides an updated approach to undergraduate Mechanism Design and Kinematics courses/modules for engineering students. The use of web-based simulations, solid modeling, and software such as MATLAB and Excel is employed to link the design process with the latest software tools for the design and analysis of mechanisms and machines. While a mechanical engineer might brainstorm with a pencil and sketch pad, the final result is developed and communicated through CAD and computational visualizations. This modern approach to mechanical design processes has not been fully integrated in most books, as it is in this new text.
