Overview

Excerpt from Gas Engines: Their Advantages, Action and Application The chapters in Part I. Provide answers to questions in the order they would probably occur to a power user. The advantages over other motors are detailed, the cost of running, up-keep, attendance and erection are given, and the various terms of power explained. A few notes upon the variations in design of Gas Engines now on the market, and some hints to buyers, complete the portion of the book specially addressed to those who have to make the purchase. Part II. Is written more for the workmen who instal and foremen and others who superintend. It is intended merely to record a few notes that may sometimes serve to jog the memory. Part. III. Is for the attendant. It contains a few words about starting, probable failures and defects and their remedies, and some hints that may prove useful. While disclaiming any technical value, it is hoped that this little volume will prove of service to the many persons who, at some time or another, have to consider the adoption of motive power and desire to know what the installation of a Gas Engine entails.
