Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains all you need to know to operate the triple-expansion steam engines of the William C. Daldy and other ships of her kind. This manual explains and illustrates the principles of steam engines and pumps, and highlights how these relate to the steam tug William C. Daldy. Some of the technology aboard the William C. Daldy is unique now - check out "Reid's Patent Twisting Piston Engine" for example. Liberally illustrated with photos and diagrams, including 46 of the ship's original 1935 plans, this is an invaluable resource for the crew of the William C. Daldy, and for steam and maritime enthusiasts everywhere.
