Year: 1945 Language: English Author: Labberton J.M. Genre: Handbook Publisher: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. Edition: 1st Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 2013 Description: This handbook is compiled especially for the use of design engineers and technical students. Operating engineers, it is hoped, will find it useful also for its presentation of design and construction details, though no attempt has been made to include instructions covering the adjustment and maintenance of marine propulsion machinery. This book is designed by the publishers to be a successor to Marine Engineers' Handbook, edited by the late Commander Frank W. Sterling, published in 1920, and available until recently. In attempting a revision to provide material representative of current practice, it was found that, because of virtually complete obsolescence, an entirely new book instead of a re,;sion was in order. Commander Sterling's book was the Bible of a generation of marine engineers; it is hoped that this volume as a successor may be equally well received. The book retains practically as originally presented the section on Reciprocating Steam Engines but all other sections on special marine engineering topics are completely new. Much material that is of pertinent value to the marine engineer has been reprinted from the fourth edition of the" Mechanical Engineers' Handbook" with the kind permission and full cooperation of Professor Lionel S. Marks. It is the sincere belief of the editor that the book is up to date and that it incorporates nil the sound and proved marine engineering practice that has been developed rapidly within the past several years. The editor has been fortunate In having the aid A.~ contributors of many men who have been closely associated with important current developments in this field of engineering and takes this opportunity of thanking them for their prompt and painstaking work. In so extensive a compilation there will undoubtedly be inadvertent mistakes and omissions. The editor will be thankful if comments and constructive suggestions are communicated to him through the publishers.
