Excerpt from Compressed Air Plant: The Production, Transmission and Use of Compressed Air The increasing use of compressed air makes the subject of interest to practitioners in nearly all branches of engineering. Besides its more important power applications, such as the operation of rock-drills, air brakes, riveting machines, and railroad switching and signalling systems, the uses of compressed air are numerous in many minor branches of mechanical engineering, in caisson work and the construction of subaqueous foundations, and in manufacturing industries, chemical works, etc., where it serves a multitude of purposes entirely distinct from that of the transmission of power. A realization of the breadth of the field has suggested that a book may be acceptable, addressed especially to those who are engaged in mining, tunnelling, quarrying, and other work involving the excavation of rock, with its concomitant operations. While the literature bearing upon this branch of compressed-air service is by no means small, it is for the most part scattered through the technical periodicals and transactions of engineering societies, and therefore not readily accessible to those who are out of convenient reach of engineering libraries. I am aware that little that is new can be said on this subject, and in writing the book I have availed myself freely of existing sources of information. In the first part, I have endeavored to present a view of current practice as to the construction and operation of compressors. Portions of the subject are dealt with at some length, such as: the types of compressor suitable for different kinds of service, heat, losses occurring in air compression, and the various forms of valves, valve-motions, and governing and unloading mechanisms, that constitute prominent features of modern compressor practice.

Excerpt from Compressed Air Plant: The Production, Transmission and Use of Compressed Air, With Special Reference to Mine Service One of the most important applications of the transmission of power by compressed air is the driving of machine rock-drills; and to the necessity of providing for these drills a power medium suitable for use in mines and tunnels has been due, more than to any other cause, the development of the modern air compressor.

Excerpt from Compressed Air Plant: The Production, Transmission and Use of Compressed Air Among rock-drills, the old piston type has been little changed. Its field of work has become somewhat narrower, chiefly because of the improvements and larger use of hammer-drills for nearly all kinds of rock excavation. For this edition a number of the chapters have been entirely rewritten and several have been expanded. As it was not desired to increase the size of the book, added space has been made by condensation and omission of old matter. The matter contained in the appendix to the 1913 edition has been incorporated in Chapter XX. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
