Book Description

Excerpt from Modern Steam Traps (English and American): Their Construction and Working This Work first appeared as a serial in the pages of The Practical Engineer, and the interest created encouraged the idea of republishing same in book form. In placing the book before the public it is perhaps advisable to add a few words by way of explanation. There is an undoubted want of knowledge among users of Steam Traps concerning the points which are most vital to the proper and efficient working of such apparatus; and while this book does not profess to deal exhaustively with the I subject, it is hoped that the reader will allow a small amount of indulgence, and remember that this is the first work published dealing exclusively with Steam Traps. This opportunity is taken of thanking the numerous makers for the information, photos., etc., which they have been kind enough to loan.
