Excerpt from Oil Fuel Equipment for Locomotives and Principles of Application This little publication is intended chiefly for the use of locomotive superintendents and Others who have the control of railway engines using oil as fuel. It is entirely of a practical character, and the few references to theory and principles of combustion are necessary in order that the subject may be clearly understood. Those who wish to study the historical, theoretical and chemical sides must have recourse to the many scientific text-books on Petroleum and Oil Fuel.
