Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Locomotive Up to Date I desire to express my sincere thanks to the Railway Public for the generous reception accorded my former efforts, and trust that in this work I may be deemed, in some degree at least, to have made good my pledges to the gentlemen who requested the preparation by me of a more comprehensive work on the same subject. The number of contributors, inventors, locomotive works and mechanical journals who have rendered assistance are too numer ous to admit of my thanking them by name, but I beg here to renew to them all the acknowledgments which have already been made to each in person.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Locomotive, Vol. 19: January, 1898 It takes a surprisingly large amount of heat to raise the temperature of half a ton of water through 80 or 90 degrees. We have seen that we should have to use 77 pounds of steam every minute, in order to raise the temperature of 8,980pounds of water from 82 up to 170 in minutes. This is at the rate of 77 X 60: pounds of steam per hour; and allowing 30 pounds per hour as the equivalent of a horse-power, we see that, in order to do the heating at this rate, we should have to have a boiler capacity of at least horse-power.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Locomotives of 1907 The railway service of the United Kingdom was never more efficient than at the present time, and, speaking generally, it would be difficult to find a strict parallel for it in any other part of the world. The weight of the trains comprising the most important passenger services and the average speeds at which they are run, have both had an upward tendency, and the demand for locomotives capable of hauling these increasing loads without any diminution in the average velocity has advanced commensurately.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catechism of the Locomotive The first edition of the Catechism of the Locomotive was written in 1873. Since then many changes and improvements have been made in the construction of locomotives, so that in preparing a second edition of the book the first one had to be thoroughly revised, and to a great extent rewritten, and a great deal of entirely new matter had to be added to bring it up to the present state of the art of locomotive engineering. Most of the illustrations are entirely new, and have been selected from the latest practice in this country. Additional chapters have been added on Force and Motion; Resolution of Motion and Forces; the Principles of the Lever; the Action of the Piston, connecting-rod and Crank; Action of the Pistons, Cranks and driving-wheels; the Westinghouse Air Brake; the Care and Use of air-brakes; and the Eames Vacuum Driving Wheel Brake.

Download or read book The Locomotive Vol 1 written by Steam Boiler Inspection and Insuranc Co and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Locomotive, Vol. 1: January, 1880 If we find that a boiler has its shell and furnace rigidly stayed together with the ends of stays set with round pins fitting nicely in round holes, and the stays sufficiently strong and numerous to act as struts, then every motion of the furnace will be communicated to the shell. In this particular case the number of the ex treme thermal changes corresponds with the number of times that steam has been raised during a period of about days, from May 1, 1874, to Oct. 28, 1879. Deducting the idle days, we have a fair statement of the number of the motions due to unequal expansion. We should hardly expect to find so many stays each bearing its exact proportion of the stress, and under unfavorable circumstances of construction they might be set so that a little additional distention or compres sion of the arch of the wagon top might be aecom plished with each stay or even row of stays. The shell, which yields readily to a comparatively slight local force when not supported in form by internal pressure, would certainly sufi'er such distortion of form as would place it in a very unfavorable condition to sustain the pressure of steam in addition to the thrust of the expand ing furnace.
