Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia and Affiliated Societies, 1918, Vol. 35 A great many men come along with dreams - ideas not worked out. One of them came to a member of the Board and said. Why don't we electrocute the Cer man submarine? W'hy. We said, we would be very glad indeed to have. You tell us your method of doing this. Oh, he said, I have given you the idea. You are an engineer. You work it out. Another has dreams of projecting wireless waves out over the country - electrocute everything: put them to sleep by wireless waves. H e does not tell us how he has not gotten so far; but he will divulge it if you will send somebody to him and tell nobody else about it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia, 1904, Vol. 21 The greatest problems which confronted us were the brake system and proporticming the weight upon the pony wheels. Discouragement followed discouragement; the pressure was the same on the large and small wheels, and, as a consequence, the small wheels had a disposition to lock and slide, long before the car could be brought to a standstill. This was decidedly objectionable because of the small wheels rapidly becoming flat in places, and because of the racking and the jolting of the truck while the wheels were skid ding. Derailments continued through a long series of experi ments. At length differential levers were devised which divided the pressure on the small and large wheels in proportion to the weight resting on them. This was entirely successful. A pair of coil springs were placed on the side frames close to the large yokes through which were. Spring posts which carried the side bearings. This brought the weight-between the center of the truck and the driving wheels, making the proportion on the pony wheels about 25 per cent. A spring com pression post directly back of the pony wheels' axle increased the load upon them on curves bv means of a V plate attached under the car. The frame was mounted on journal springs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies, Vol. 5: Boston, St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis, St. Paul Some knowledge of the immense size the marine engine has reached may be obtained from the fact that an engine built in England a short time ago had a steam cylinder for reversing thirty-two inches in diame ter. It is by means of these improvements only that engines of ten and t welve thousand horse-power can be controlled The largest com pound on the lakes at the present time is 35 inches high and 70 inches low-pressure cylinder by 48 inches stroke and one as small as 8 inches high and 14 inches low-pressure cylinders by 12-inch stroke, and works as com plete as the larger engines. Vt'hen comparing engines of the lake marine with those built by English and Scotch builders and those on the coast, a vast difference is found in the weight and strength of engines of the same size. Those on the lakes are much the lighter - in fact, they are built. On the banjo principle. While the others are built on the anvil principle one is strong and massive, while the other is light and graceful, but. Begins to spring when heavy work is thrown on it. Some builders lay claims to making the working parts of their engines of steel to reduce the weight. This is a mistake. Stiffness is of more importance. If the crank shaft springs and heats, it is little satisfaction to know that it is. Made of steel. A piston or connecting-rod that trembles is a continual source of annoyance, and any amount of assurance that they are of steel will not satisfy the engineer that they are safe. The engines were orig inally designed to work with 50 and 60 pounds of steam, and at the present time are using a steam pressure of 100 pounds without one. Pound additional weight in the engines. The board of experts on the trial of the United State dispatch boat Dolphin reported that when it was attempted to work the engines to their full power, streams of water had to be run on the journals continually. It does not take very much spring in a shaft 10 inches in diameter with journal 11} diameters long to seriously affect its alignment. And when a power of 500 horse-power is exerted every time the crank passes the centre, there must not be any lack of material at the proper place to keep things from springing. It would seem when an engine showed signs of distress, that there would be danger of something giving way. There is danger, no doubt; but the moment any weakness is discovered by the engineer, every care is taken to favor that particular place. And the engine may run for years without a serious break-down. The banjo principle in some classes of construction is a good one, but nothing short of the anvil principle should be permitted in marine engines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies, Vol. 18: January to June, 1897 But in some systems there are provisions made and items of expense which benefit the general public and not individuals. For instance, storm water, when allowed to accumulate on the surface of streets, becomes a public nuisance; hence the public should pay for its removal. In many instances, cities assume the whole ex pense of this kind of work. We shall agree that public benefits should be paid by the pub lic. Just how much public interest in the sewers should amount to in assessment should be settled by local conditions. Where the surface water drains and common sewers are combined in one system, then the general public benefit is much larger than in the separate system. The practice is becoming general to build sepa rate conduits for the conveyance of sewage, putting off until future years the construction of complete systems of storm water drains. In case the drainage of water from streets is thrown out and placed among the problems of the future, the general public interest in a sewerage system is cleanliness of soil, purity of air, and purity of water. There may be actual benefits accruing to the whole city from the introduction of a sewerage system beside that of im proved sanitation, such as its commercial value and the moral in fluence it has in maintaining and elevating the good name of the community. NO one can tell how much these benefits may amount to, but they are not to be overlooked. Taking everything into account, it is the custom to consider not less than one-fourth of the total benefit received as a public benefit, and legislation substantiates this View. It is also fair to agree that private benefits should be paid by individuals, since the fundamental object of assessments is equality. Some cities assess the whole cost upon the property in the district sewered; others assess a part of the cost; and still others pay the total cost out of the tax levy, thereby admitting no special benefits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Western Society of Engineers, Vol. 20: January to December, 1915 We can therefore assume that the greatest interest of the engi neering profession lies in the utilization of this particular product to produce electric light at minimum cost to the ultimate consumer. To treat of the economic relations of the' incandescent lamp to the rest of the circuit, it is necessary to have certain knowledge of its performance under various imposed conditions, and this subject will therefore be touched upon briefly in connection with a little comment on some of the most important development work which has so vastly improved the incandescent lamp within the last few years. Before mentioning the striking improvement in efficiency recently attained in heavy-current g'as filled tungsten filament lamps, I wish to call your attention to the efficiency improvements in the smaller lamps, which, while amounting to but 20 or 25 per cent, carry great weight in considerations affecting the cost' of light to the great mass of users by reason of the large percentage of total light produced through them. The 25, 40 and 60 watt lamps are now operating at and w. P. C. Respectively, compared with w..pc. Five years ago for the 40 and 60 watt, and w.p.c. For the 25 watt, and are giving the same useful life as before. This improvement in efficiency has been made possible principally through the adoption of drawn wire filaments, modifications of the structure supporting the filament, and the introduction of various chemicals within the bulb, which have allowed the filament oper ating temperature to be increased without increasing the rate of candle-power depreciation. Not only have these lamps become more efficient in utilizing energy, but their mechanical strength has been increased and their prices greatly reduced. I need only point to their extended and successful use in street railway service today to illustrate the second improvement mentioned.

The static wheel loads were augmented by the wheel effects - dynamic shocks - once or twice what they should have been, incident to the low joints and irregular surface of the rails with a consequent high train resistance. The driving wheel loads had increased but little upon the light steel rails, over the practice upon the iron sections. The expended tractive effort had been augmented a few per cent in the American 8 wheel locomotives, but the steam generating capacity was imade quate for the essential requirements of through express trains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Year Book of Engineers' Society University of Minnesota, Vol. 15: April, 1907 Happily there is another, a positive side in the analysis of the engineer. Generally he is a man of sterling character, of rigid honesty in the midst of manifold temptations, devoted to his work which he finds absorbingly interesting, a hard and usually in adequately paid worker finding compensation ia successful achievement, kind but firm to his subordinates, loyal to his supe riors, jealous of his reputation, unostentatiously proud of his own and other engineers' achievements. Narrow, if you will, because he is little interested in letters and art, but finding his own chosen field broad enough to occupy all of his time and energy. No more narrow, therefore, than many another faithful worker who finds the business of life all absorbing. But not narrow in the sense that his intellectual development is dwarfed. For it may truthfully be said that the engineer who attains to a modicum of success must possess intellectual power and training at least equal to that required for a like degree of success in any other calling. In a word the engineer possesses character, intellectual power and an intimate acquaintance with nature's ways and laws. He needs but the humanizing touch with life to round out his character and immensely broaden his sphere of usefulness. How may he more closely touch life and how will it affect his work and per sonality? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
