Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a scheme for the provision of compressed air as a motive power in Birmingham, England in 1883. It explains how compressed air could be delivered throughout the manufacturing portion of the city by pipes or mains, in the same way that gas and water were supplied. The author argues that this system would greatly enhance the value of property, attract new branches of trade, and place Birmingham in a superior position to other manufacturing cities. The book also discusses the hygienic and economic advantages of the system, including improved ventilation of workshops, reduced risk of boiler explosions, and a reduction in the bulk of refuse matter to be removed from the city. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the development of compressed air technology in the late 19th century and its potential applications in urban industrial settings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
