Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development of the Locomotive Engine: A History of the Growth of the Locomotive Form Its Most Elementary Form, Showing the Gradual Steps Made Toward the Developed Engine, With Biographical Sketched of the Eminent Engineers and Inventors Who Nursed It on Its Way to the Perfected Form of to-Day My purpose in writing this book was based on the belief that all intelligent railway men and hosts of others are sufficiently interested in the locomotive to desire a book giving a comprehensive history of the growth of this form of engine. The first moving cause for the determination to write this book originated about thirty years ago when I read an article in a popular magazine professing to give a condensed history of the locomotive engine that was full of misstatements and errors. I wrote to the editor, pointing out some of the most glaring mistakes, such as one stating that the first portion of the New York Central Railroad was opened with an engine called the "John Bull," which had an upright boiler. The editor replied that the article was written by a person who was an authority on such matters, and that there was no doubt that the statements made were correct. On reading the editors letter I determined to write a history of the locomotive, and I have been collecting material for it ever since. Most of the articles composing the book have been published in the pages of Railway and Locomotive Engineering, my own journal. As the articles appeared I invited readers to send in corrections if they found any mistakes. They responded very exhaustively, and many of the statements have led to long discussions and correspondence. I have been actuated by an earnest desire to publish exact facts, and after sifting conflicting statements have used my best judgment to give those that are founded on the most reliable authority. That has caused the material in the book to be practically rewritten. I give this book of history to the world with the humble hope that it may prove as free from mistakes as the most carefully written historical books have been, and that it may be found of interest to many who are engaged in railroad operations, or who may be interested in the appliances which have been used so successfully in the development of this great country. Whatever may be the popular estimate of the work, however, nothing can ever deprive me of the pleasant recollection of the many cheering words of encouragement and help connected with its preparation that have come from almost every part of the world.

Download or read book Development of the Locomotive Engine written by Angus Sinclair and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1970 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1907, this work remains the best single source on the development of steam locomotives for those interested in their inner workings and technical specifications. Most of the more recent offerings on the subject are primarily nostalgic picture books celebrating the outward design of the great engines of the past. Sinclair spent half a lifetime operating locomotives before beginning a new career as a railway journalist which brought him in contact with the prime movers of the golden age of railroading. The author's lively story-telling style remains fresh, and the scholarly value of the book has been much enhanced by the inclusion of some 650 notes provided by his editor, who is a Curator of the U.S. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution. These notes provide further information and correct errors brought to light by more recent research. The editor has also provided an afterword, summarizing the final developments and the last years of the steam locomotive in the twentieth century.This new edition retains all the numerous illustrations of the original-- some 200 historic locomotives are pictured, plus numerous portraits of their designers and owners, and line drawings of mechanical configurations."Contents: " Introduction to the Annotated Edition.
