In the fifth edition of this practical treatise on the locomotive engine and its handling in service, the work has been revised in order to include the latest developments of steam and electric locomotives.
“There is no doubt but what a great deal of information for the practical engineer can be obtained from this book, but it is a pity that the arrangement has not been more systematic and that so many prominent and important parts of the locomotive have been omitted from discussion.” G. R. Henderson.
