Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and detailed account of the Manchester Steam Users Association from 1854 to 1905. The association, founded by Adam Dugdale, was dedicated to promoting safety and efficiency in the use of steam-powered machinery. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the association's activities, including its role in the development of steam pressure gauges, the establishment of boiler inspection standards, and its pioneering work on the specific heat of superheated steam. The book also examines the association's engagement with broader issues such as the prevention of steam-pipe explosions and the concerns over the brittleness of mild steel in the late 19th century. Through its extensive research and analysis, this book offers valuable insights into the history of steam power and the efforts to improve its safety and efficiency during a period of rapid industrialization.
