Excerpt from Marine Engine Indicating: A Complete Treatise on the Indicator and Indicator Diagrams as Applied to Marine Engines It has been the writer's observation - and doubtless the reader's as well - that text books written on the subject of indicators are invariably based on experiences with stationary engines. That a thorough treatise on this all-important device, with special reference to its application to marine engines is greatly needed, is obvious to every marine engineer, and this work is undertaken expressly to meet that need, particular care being exercised, especially in all the analyses of diagrams, to be lucid and concise, rather than elaborately technical. The history of the indicator has been purposely avoided, as being superfluous, the writer deeming it of far greater importance to confine himself especially to a complete description of the most accurate of the modern type. In the analysis of diagrams it is important, when adjustment of valves must be made, to be able to construct and discuss the valve diagrams, and the object here has been to explain the methods in a clear manner, eliminating all geometrical proof. All diagrams shown were taken, in actual practice, from modern marine engines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
