What change occurs in the condition of the steam in its passage through the steam nozzle? What is the purpose of the combining tube? Why should the starting lever never be pulled back suddenly? What tube in an injector is subject to the most wear, and where does the wear occur? How can it be ascertained whether the boiler check vale or the injector steam valve is leaking?
If you can answer all these questions, maybe you don’t need this book. But if you’re of the growing number of live steam enthusiasts looking for information to help you design, build and run a steam engine locomotive, then you will love this book. And be sure to look for our two dozen other reproduced books from this ICS series on steam railroading as taught and practiced in the 1930s and 1940s.
