About This Book

A practical manual that begins with a historical survey and the principles of hydro-mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatics, then examines flow under pressure, gravity, and friction. It surveys water-pressure machines, water wheels and turbine types, and hydraulic apparatus including jacks, presses, accumulators and rams. The work classifies pumps and provides detailed, illustrated treatments of hand, belted, electric, steam (single, duplex and compound), centrifugal, rotary, jet and injector types, plus compressors, pulsometers and fire and mining applications. Practical guidance on valves, management, calculations, rules, tables and a glossary round out the text.


Thought is the principal factor in all mechanical work; the mechanical effort is an incident rather than the principal equipment in any trade or occupation.

Any trade is easily learned by an apt scholar who uses his reasoning faculties and makes a study of cause and effect.”—CHAS. J. MASON.
