Contents include: &quote;Air Valves&quote;, &quote;Action in the Cylinders&quote;, &quote;Arithmetic&quote;, &quote;Bye-Pass Valves&quote;, &quote;Compound Expansion of Steam&quote;, &quote;Compound System Adopted&quote;, &quote;Compound Regulator Valve&quote;, &quote;Carbonation&quote;, &quote;Failures and Remedies&quote;, &quote;Handling the Engine&quote;, &quote;Horse Power&quote;, &quote;Leading the Engine&quote;, &quote;Horse Power&quote;, &quote;Leading Dimensions and Rations&quote;, &quote;Lubrication&quote;, &quote;Non-Return Valves&quote;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
