Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a passionate and deeply insightful exploration of the science of locomotion, specifically focusing on the mechanics of railways and steam navigation. Published in an era when these technologies were rapidly changing the world, the author challenges the prevailing scientif…ic theories of his day, particularly those of Dr. Hutton, a prominent mathematician and physicist. The author argues that the established understanding of force and resistance in fluids, as well as the impact of falling bodies, is fundamentally flawed and proposes his own alternative theories. He presents his arguments in a clear and accessible style, drawing on practical experience, real-world examples, and rigorous mathematical reasoning. The book delves into the complexities of designing efficient and safe railways and steamships, challenging conventional wisdom and highlighting the importance of accurate scientific knowledge in the development of these crucial technologies. Ultimately, this book is a powerful call for a reassessment of accepted scientific truths, and a reminder of the vital role of accurate understanding in engineering progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Erste und einzige Ausgabe des Hauptwerks von John Curr (1756-1823) einem sogenannten coal-viewer, eine ursprünglichen Bezeichnung für einen Bergbauingenieurs. Curr war ein englischer Bergbauingenieur und Erfinder, der von 1781 bis 1801 als Inspektor der Kohlengruben…des Herzogs von Norfolk im englischen Sheffield fungierte. Während dieser Zeit schuf er eine Reihe von Innovationen, die maßgeblich zur Entwicklung des Kohlebergbaus und der Eisenbahn beitrugen. Er beschreibt in diesem Buch erstmalig seiner Erfindung einer Bahn mit Eisenrädern auf Eisenschienen, die die Arbeit in den Kohleminen und weit darüber hinaus revolutionierte. In den von ihm entworfenen Kohleloren konnten bis zu 2000 zusätzliche Einheiten bewegt werden und die Arbeitsbelastung enorm erleichtert werden. Darüber hinaus veröffentlicht er seine modifizierten Dampfmaschinenkessel- Entwürfe. Zeitgenössischer Besitzvermerk auf dem Vorsatz. "Georg Geddes Property bought 23.

Aggiungi al carrello4to, 96 pages, and 5 folding engraved plates. Twentieth century speckled sheep, red morocco label on spine. A little spotting on the plates, otherwise a very good copy. Owner?s blind stamp on front free endpaper and bookseller?s slip on pastedown. SOLE EDITION of the principal printed source for John Curr (1756?1823), a ?coal vi…ewer?, i.e. a mining engineer, and of his inventions and technical innovations, including the first printed account of an iron railway. ?His first invention was the flanged cast-iron railway?described as ?plate ways? or ?railroads? which were the first flanged iron rails installed underground for the hauling of coal? Curr?s use of iron rails dramatically improved the hurrying of coal by reducing the number of horses needed to pull the corves [i.e., baskets of coal], and by enabling an additional 2000 corves to be moved annually?? (ODNB). The idea of plate rails was taken up by the engineer Benjamin Outram, who became a leading promoter of their use. ?Curr also sought to improve the efficiency of the steam engine, and discovered that raising the cistern higher above the cylinder produced a stronger vacuum without additional fuel. For these experiments he became an acknowledged expert in the construction of atmospheric steam engines and was regarded as a successor to John Smeaton. In 1797 [in the present book] he published plans and descriptions of his modified Newcomen steam engines, with detailed comparisons between the power of different types of boiler? (ibid). Skempton 335: ?Includes the first printed account of plate rails.? See Skempton et al (eds.), A biographical dictionary of civil engineers: ??was responsible for a number of innovations, the most important of which was his introduction of flanged iron plateways..
