Excerpt from The Steam-Engine: And Other Heat-Motors A final chapter has been added on steam-engine details. The student is supposed to have had Strength of Materials. From the empirical-rational formulas in this chapter, he may obtain practical answers which he can profitably compare with those derived from theory. The forms of the various details may be obtained from catalogues. This last chapter is due to the labor of students in Cornell and in the University of Wisconsin, super vised by Professors Barr and Gould.
