Excerpt from The Steam Engine for Practical Men: Containing a Theoretical Investigation of the Various Rules Given in the Work, and Several Useful Tables The First Part does not contain a single formula; the practical man will here find nothing but rules and their immediate application, an example, or more, being always given after each rule.
