The solution for many of the puzzling troubles with pumps which every engineer is liable to encounter will be found in this work. There are also a number of unusual instances of repairs, which may prove of much value where pumps are seemingly broken down beyond use, and these special instances will often suggest other possibilities of the same sort. Two chapters are given to the important matter of setting the valves of duplex pumps, and much attention is given to this same subject throughout the book. It is believed that a careful perusal of these pages will give the reader a sufficient number of illustrations in the operation and repairs of pumps to handle any difficulty that may arise in the ordinary operation of a steam-pump plant. The compiler of this volume is indebted to those contributors of Power whose names appear in connection with the various articles, and to the following special contributors whose suggestions and works have been found useful: Earl F. Webster, W. A. Dow andS amuel S. Murdock. Hubert E. Collins. New York, October,

The intention of the author is to arm fellow engineers with the knowledge they need to troubleshoot even the most perplexing of pump problems and avoid costly shutdowns. The book covers topics such as unequal pump strokes, diagnosing the cause of pump noises, and even explores creative solutions that can be used when common repair parts are not readily available.
