Excerpt from Boiler Construction: A Practical Explanation of the Best Modern Methods of Boiler Construction From the Laying Out of Sheets to the Completed Boiler

In presenting this work it is not intended to give a large quantity of theoretical matter which would be um interesting to the builder; nor to give a lot of new, um tried material. The matter which has been compiled for this work represents the most modern practice. Only the best and the most rapid methods of the large builders and railroads are given, so that one following the line of work which is here laid out will not run behind in these modern days of progress.

In trying to get this matter together in such shape as to be generally useful, it has been deemed inadvisable to illustrate and describe the methods used by the builders of each one of the many prominent boilers now being built for various classes of work. And as the different Operations on different makes of boilers are so similar to each other, it has been considered best to devote a section to the description of boilers in general. Following this, the locomotive boiler is taken up in the order in which the matter goes through the shop.
