Book Description

Excerpt from Marine Engine Indicating: A Complete Treatise on the Indicator and Indicator Diagrams as Applied to Marine Engines This work is respectfully dedicated to my friend R. B. Phillips, Treasurer and Manager of the American Steam Gauge & Valve Manufacturing Company, through whose Indicator, the American-Thompson, I have been able in all my professional work to accomplish most perfect results, and because it is my unqualified opinion that the facility and accuracy of this instrument is unequaled. The importance of a perfect instrument in the expert work which I am constantly called upon to perform has compelled me to make this selection by thorough tests and the absence of all prejudice. It is, therefore, in this same spirit that I give credit where credit is due. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
