Half-black calf over black cloth gilt lettering stamped on front cover leather corners minor chipping & wear head & foot of spine scuffing to spine wear to corners still VG- copy. This manuscript thesis details the testing and evaluation of the newly developed Parsons Steam Turbine which was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884 and revolutionized engineering across many fields in the Victorian era. His turbine extracted thermal engineering from pressurized steam allowing a rotating output shaft especially suited for driving electrical generators. In 1897 just four years before this work was researched and published the Parsons engine was applied to the ship Turbinia the first ship powered by the very successful enginer. Ehrhart 1874-1941 & Cardullo 1879-1938 were both electrical engineering students at Cornell University. After graudation Ehrhart became an electrical engineer with expertise in turbines for Westinghouse in Pittsburgh and by the end of World War I Ehrhart was a manager of the Elliott Electrical Engineering Company in Edgewood PA nice suburb of Pittsburgh. Cardullo became a professor of mechanical engineering wrote on thermodynamics and later worked as the chief draftsman of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Co. before becoming the head of engineering testing for the Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor Co. in Buffalo NY.

First edition of this very scarce salesman’s catalogue of maritime diesel engines and stationary diesel engines for generating electricity in factories and power plants. The catalogue begins photos of the Superior Diesel Engine factory in Springfield OH shop views of engines under construction as well as the research & development laboratory. Models 40 50 60 & 80 Superior Diesel Engines are illustrated with cut-away views pistons fuel injection pumps and more. Of particular interest are the extensive typed manuscript customer list for this Superior Engine salesman encompassing such companies as Astoria North Beach Ferry Enterprise Machine Works in Ketchikan AK Pt. Adams Packing Co. in Hammond OR Puget Sound Tug & Barge Co. in Seattle WA Foss Launch & Tug in Tacoma & Seattle Yaquina Bay Fish Co. in Newport OR Diesel Towing Co. in Portland OR Tucson Gas Electric Light & Power Hines Lumber Co. in Hines OR Salt River Valley Water Users Assoc. in Phoneix AZ and over 150 others. Superior was founded in 1889 by Patrick Shouvlin who was servicing oil field equipment and quickly grew. In the 1890s his shop adopted the Superior Company name and later made arrangements with National Supply Company to distribute and market their engines. He initially produced gas engines that would run on the plentiful natural gas being produced in the Lima Ohio area at the time replacing steam which was costly to operate and maintain as well as much more dangerous. His engine was well-received and became the standard for pumping oil in the United States. Superior was purchased by National Supply in 1929 and later by White Motors in 1955. No copies located in Worldcat or NUC and printed notice indicates that the salesman was charged $ 100.00 for the book to be refunded when returned.

290 pages including index. Illustrated with line drawings. Probable first printing as printing/impression not stated. Written to serve as a textbook for correspondence students in the University of Wisconsin Extension Division. The third of a series of three textbooks designed for those students pursuing a general course in Steam Engineering. Covers the fundamental principles underlying the operation of the steam engine in as simple and nonmathematical a way as possible. Section on valve gears is more complete than other sections as this topic is usually less understood than others by operating engineers. Chapters include: Principles of the Steam Engine; Corliss and Other Engines; Parts of the Steam Engine; Heat, Work, and Pressure; Properties of Steam; Indicators; Indicated and Brake Horsepower; Action of Steam in the Cylinder; Steam Engine Testing; The Slide Valve; The Valve Diagram; Valve Setting; Shifting Eccentric and Meyer Valve; Reversing Mechanisms; Corliss Valve Gears; Coverning; Compound Engines; Condensing Apparatus; Lubrication; Steam Turbines. Former owner's signature inside front board, else unmarked. Gilt lettering upon spine worn but legible. Green boards with ample but not excessive wear. Book
