Excerpt from Heating Systems: Design of Hot Water and Steam Heating Apparatus This work presents the most modern practice in an im portant branch of Engineering. It is freely illustrated with a large number of drawings, and some catalogue prints are also included where special drawings would possess little further advantage. It is not, however, the writer's intention to convey the impression that he favours the products of one maker in preference to those of another. A special feature of the book is the large number of Charts that have been prepared, and the method adopted in sizing the pipes of different systems. Attention has been directed rather to the practical than to the theoretical aspects of the work, whilst in the sizing of pipes, the process in a large measure is merely a mechanical one. Consideration is also given to the economical aspect of heating problems, and especially in connection with the heating of works or of industrial buildings. The book is therefore intended for the busy professional or business man, as well as for the use of students. The writer desires to thank all who have assisted either directly or indirectly in the production of the work.
