Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wrought-Pipe Drainage Systems
The subject of Wrought Pipe has long deserved a place in technical literature, and the present little volume is now offered to the public in the hope that it will fill that place and be found an invaluable aid to those who have the installing of iron pipe systems.
The work is much broader in its scope than the name would imply. A more descriptive title, perhaps, would have been "The Manipulation of Wrought Pipe," for the text is applicable to any system of piping whatsoever which is put together with screw threads. Outside of one chapter which deals entirely with the taking of measurements for wrought-pipe drainage systems, the text applies equally to the working of wrought pipe for heating systems, refrigerating systems, pipe lines, drive wells, power plants, or any other use to which iron pipe may be put. It follows, therefore, that the book would be equally valuable to workers in these several allied lines.
The volume was not intended solely for the use of helpers and apprentices. Of course, it should be among the very first books given a beginner to study; but it will be found, likewise, to contain much of value to the Journeyman, Superintendent, Contractor and Engineer.
