Mr 7B23 PREFACE. +9+ The manufacture and erection of new machinery is one thing, and to keep it in good order and repair damages is another and very different affair. It almost involves a different set of faculties, for an engineer employed always on new work is entirely unfitted to cope with the peculiar difficulties and problems constantly presented to the repairer. A good hand, therefore, for this work, must have had much general experience and be possessed of some originality to be successful. Engineers shops are more or less occupied with repairing work, which, from its drawbacks and difficulties, is often more tolerated than sought after. Workmen avoid it as much as possible, because it is not straightforward work, dirty and difficult to deal with. To help to some extent to remove or reduce these difficulties, is the authors purpose in the following pages, which deal with most of the general classes of machinery in use. There are, of course, a great many machines that could not with any advantage be separately specified and described, but it is hoped that a perusal of those particularised in the various sections may give many hints necessary for dealing with cases not directly enumerated.
