About This Book

Presented in a catechetical question-and-answer format, the work offers clear, practical instruction on locomotive steam engines and their operation. It explains steam properties and thermodynamic principles, boiler design and attachments, valve gear and cylinders, running gear, adhesion and traction, friction and lubrication, combustion and fuel, train resistance, and types of locomotives. It also covers inspection, routine operation, accidents and remedies, performance and operating costs, and responsibilities of crew, with tables and plates for dimensions and properties. The language aims to make technical concepts accessible to mechanics, drivers, firemen, and students.
