Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Locomotives Simple, Compound, and Electric
There are many excellent books on the locomotive, but there is one portion Of the subject which, in the author's opinion, has not yet been covered.
The man who wishes to understand an engine thor oughly will, learn more by watching repairs made in the shop, or in case Of accident on the road, when the engine is disconnected, than if the method were de scribed to him in so many words; for he thus sees the actual construction, break, and repairs.
