Description

London, England: Arrow, 1973. Paperback. Railways: Mechanical Engineering. This book is concerned with the evolution of those aspects of railways which were normally the concern of a railway company's mechanical engineering department - rolling stock, signalling and, above all, motive power. It was not until the application of steam power to locomotive haulage in Napoleonic times that the railway mechanical engineer became a professional in his own right. The book describes the thought that went into early locomotives and rolling stock, the first basic theoretical investigations into friction, air resistance, the expansive properties of steam; how through all the wordy battles, the steam locomotive of Stephenson's pattern steadily grew in power, reliability, and economy. Illustrated.177 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 1st Arrow Edition.
