Journal of Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania and Mechanics' Register, Vol. 25 by Thomas P. Jones Pdf
Excerpt from Journal of Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania and Mechanics' Register, Vol. 25: Devoted to Mechanical and Physical Science, Civil Engineering, the Arts and Manufactures, and the Recording of American and Other Patented Inventions I hope the reader will appreciate the motives which have determined me not to follow strictly a chronological order in every part of this article. I have concluded that there would be greater clearness in collecting together the paragraphs relating to the various and more or less advantageous modes which' have been successively conceived for the employment of steam. The details of mechanism, though very important, seem to me to be of secondary consideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
