Publisher's Synopsis
The Screw Propeller: An Investigation Of Its Geometrical And Physical Properties, And Its Application To The Propulsion Of Vessels (1851) is a book written by Robert Rawson. The book is a detailed investigation of the screw propeller and its application to the propulsion of vessels. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the geometrical and physical properties of the screw propeller, including its design, construction, and operation. The book covers a range of topics, including the theory of screw propulsion, the efficiency of screw propellers, and the various types of screw propellers used in different vessels. The author also discusses the advantages of using screw propellers over other types of propulsion systems. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of marine propulsion systems, and for engineers and designers involved in the construction and operation of vessels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
