The reason for the publication of this book is, that having given over 25 years of my life to the careful study and practical workings of Boilers, Engines, Pumps, Electric lyight Dynamos, Turning I aths, Planers, Shapers and general Mathine Shop practice, I thought it proper to give the rising young mechanics and engineers such information in plain simple language so as to be easily understood, and save years of time and money in gathering the information through other sources. It is only necessary to say that the longer one labors in practical mechanics, the more mature is his mind and judgment and the better qualified he is to carry on his vork. This book is written especially forM echanics who wish to prepare themselves in procuring Government, State or City I icense as anE ngineer. Hoping the practical suggestions throughout the book will enable those who look and follow them up to gain a better insight of the work they have to perform, I remain. Very Respectfully Otto Stkphknson.
