Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Notes Originality in Engineering notes is out of the question moreover, the best works extant on the subject appear to have borrowed so largely from the same source, or from each other, that it is next to impossible mention ing authorities. The object of this work is to supply an exhaustive digest of all that is known on each subject so far as is necessary and sufficient for an Engineer in practice; the Alphabetical Index will enable him at once to arrive at what he wants without wading through irrelevant matter. The detached form of unconnected paragraphs has been adopted to combine succinctness with perspicuity unattainable by a more discursive style.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Engineering Student's Notes, Technical, Philosophical and Otherwise The subject matter that makes up most of the present book was written between the years 1890 and 1897, and published in the Magazine "Industry," of which publication the writer was the editor during that period. The title assumed at that time was "Extracts from a Note Book-by Techno," began and for some time continued as a means of instructing students and apprentices in the processes of engineering work by a half-humorous treatment that would divest the subject of its usual formal and dry presentment in technical books. The articles met with much commendation, but it was found after five or six chapters had been prepared that the field was too circumscribed, and that the "Extracts" must extend into the outer world and change their form, or cease. A new scheme was adopted in the sixth article, where the present revision begins, omitting, with a few exceptions, so much as would fail to have interest for non-technical readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standard Forms of Field Notes for Civil Engineers The object of this book is to present forms for notetaking, and such necessary instructions in the use of them, that an engineer can take a complete set of notes and record the results of a survey in neat and workman-like manner. In all the books dealing with Surveying.and Railroad Location very little space has been given to the art of recording notes. An engineer who has worked long in the field will gradually develop a system of note-keeping which he will follow in a general way time after time; yet he will sometimes vary from his form in a few minor instances just enough to confuse a draftsman. As for the younger members of the profession, it is often hard for them to record the results of their surveys in such a manner that they can translate the notes themselves, unless they are plotted while the survey is still fresh in their minds. It is a very common thing to see an engineer called into the office to explain his notes to the draftsman; or a party returned to the field to get information which should have been taken in the original survey. An engineering party can be placed in the field and maintained only at a very large expense; and speed and accuracy is demanded by every employer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture Notes on Some of the Business Features of Engineering Practice In preparing the second edition of my Lecture Notes certain additions have been suggested by the experience of the classroom and by changes, almost revolutionary, which have taken place in the industrial field. As explained in the introduction to the first edition, the lectures and papers contained In Reprints were collected originally for the purpose of cultivating in the students a sympathetic attitude of mind toward the more specific instruction to follow. Experience in the classroom has shown that these papers can also be usefully employed as suggestive material for experience talks. Therefore, with the added addresses, they have been included in this volume as Part I. In Part II I have brought together my own lecture notes which appeared originally in the first edition of these Notes and its sev eral supplements. Much of this material has been rearranged to bring it into better sequence; and portions have been rewritten wholly or in part. Considerable new material has been added, particularly on the all-important subject of depreciation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement No; 1 to Lecture Notes on Some of the Business Features of Engineering Practice In notes previously prepared, the general subject of con tracts has been considered, and an attempt made to give in a not too technical form the general principles which underlie all agree ments. If these have been mastered it is now possible to proceed to a consideration of some special forms of contracts which the business or professional man is most frequently called upon to make. The general principles are common to all, but, in addition, each variety of contract gives rise to special rules, which must be considered. One of the most common acts of everyday life is to delegate authority to another, for some more or less general purpose. A moment's consideration will disclose to anyone how frequent this act is. It is often done so casually as to escape notice, but from the act of sending a street urchin to buy a morning paper to the broad power of attorney which the multi-millionaire gives to his confidential secretary the principle is the same, and the two opera tions stand side by side before the law as the establishment of an agency. Let the terms which we are about to use be clearly defined. A Principal is one who delegates to another the authority to represent and act for him.

Download or read book Papers from the Notes of an Engineer Classic Reprint written by Frederick Gleason Corning and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers From the Notes of an Engineer The names of De Lesseps, Suez, and Panama, whatever may prove to be the issue of the latter venture, will always remain great among the chapters in the progress of civilization. To review the career of F. De Lesseps and fully appreciate the vast ness of his projects is to become forcibly impressed with the man's extraordinary genius as the projector of startling under takings and his unsurpassed ability as a. Successful promoter. A broad view of his achievements inspires a degree of admiration for this magnetic character only comparable with the intense in terest felt throughout civilized countries regarding the success of his globe-remodeling projects and their important bearing on the interests of commerce and navigation. More minutely scru tinized, however - passing, as it were, from the poetic to the prosaic side of this talented Frenchman's schemes - we meet with some disappointment regarding the execution in detail and probable fate of his last great engineering and speculative un dertaking at Panama. This concern for the future of the canal and for the prestige so long enjoyed by De Lesseps grows but of an impartial attitude toward the undertaking, in which the present condition of things on the Isthmus is contrasted with the original promises officially advertised by De Lesseps and his company.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Notes on Hawaii Owing to their position, the islands have a commercial and strategic position by no means insignificant, lying as they do in the path of almost every line of steamers crossing the Pacific. Statistics for the year ending June 30th, 1901, show that 662 steamers, war vessels and sailing vessels made the ports of Honolulu and Hilo, over of the number entering the former. The advantage to the United States of ownership of these islands, in connection with the develop ment and control of our new possessions in the far East, is very great, permitting of the maintenance here of a base of supplies and a naval repair yard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Steam Engineering: Arranged for the Use of Officers of the Old Line of the Navy My special aim has been to prepare something that will be of value to the officers of the old line, who not only may be hereafter called upon to perform duties with which they now have little familiarity, but who will certainly be required to pass examina tions in steam engineering. Having this end in view, I have felt that I could better appreciate the obscure points in the text before me than could some person more familiar with the subject. In other words, possessing little knowledge of the subject myself, I have felt that I could find the points that would prove difficult to others in a similar situation better than one of the 'old engineer officers could. This, therefore, is my apology for attempting the work. I have contributed nothing to the text except the work of ar rangement and revision, and throughout have received every assistance from the officers of the Bureau of Steam Engineering, by whom my work has been carefully revised. I trust that steam engineering experts will look with sympathy on this work and forgive its many faults. It is not intended for their use. I also hope that my labors may prove of some service to the many officers who are in the same situation that I am.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Engineer's Note Book: Essays on Life and Letters That evening, early in November, as the car climbed the last ridges hiding the lake, the conversation had been concerned mainly with walking and the possibility of popularizing an apparently obsolete pastime in a country containing so many automobiles. "At one time," I remarked, "I was fond of saying that walking tours were impossible in the United States because there weren't, in any universal sense, roads to walk on. I had been told that in many sections the railroad ties were the only means of footing it to the next town. However, that doesn't hold good if a flivver can go clear across to Seattle, Washington. And these Jersey roads we have come over are quite all right." Some one muttered that once you got off the pike you never knew what sort of horrible fate was in store for you. "True anywhere." I argued. "That's one of the fine reasons for quitting the pike. You cease to be merely one of a continuous stream of automobiles all trying to tear past each other and dwelling forever in one another's dust." "But does anybody walk nowadays?" asked another member of the party as yet unspoiled by foreign travel. "Indeed they do." was the immediate reply.
