  Practical Rules for the Management of a Locomotive Engine in the Station, on the Road, and in cases of Accident

summary:
  The water is higher when the Engine is running than when stopping: a good working height for it in most Engines is when _water_ blows off from the middle cock while running, and _water and steam_ when stopping: an Engine-man is sometimes obliged to run the water rather lower, if he has heavy work; but it is always better to keep the level of the water as high as possible. One pump, if constantly at work, would, in most Engines, supply as much, or rather more water than is required by the Engine as equivalent to the steam consumed; so that by turning on or off either or both pumps, the Engine-man has the power of regulating the height of the water in the boiler at discretion.

summary:
  Here are a few dates: Watt's invention of the separate condenser, 1765; Watt's first patent, 1769; Watt's first working engine introduced into a manufactory, 1775; first steam engine erected in Ireland, 1791; first steamboat run on the Hudson, 1797; first steamboat abroad, 1801. Read them with care: With good engineers an awkward fireman soon changes his habits and appearance--he gets the knots dressed off of him, as it were.

summary:
  Other engines of the same pattern, but with eighteen and one-half inch cylinders, were built in 1862-63, for the same company, and for the Don Pedro II. Railway of Brazil. Subsequently, on other engines on which the spark-box was not used, the half-saddles were cast so as almost to meet under the smoke-box, and, after the cylinders were adjusted in position, wedges were fitted in the interstices and the saddles bolted together.

summary:
  If the main crank pin was broken? A. Take down eccentric rod, eccentric crank, main rod and all connecting rods, block cross-head, disconnect from end of radius rod, chain it to running board and block steam valve to cover ports. Why should you not use valve oil in these bearings? A. Valve oil cannot be used successfully in the main bearing because of its heavy body.

  The Life of George Stephenson and of his Son Robert Stephenson Comprising Also a History of the Invention and Introduction of the Railway Locomotive

summary:
  [69] The arguments used by Mr. Stephenson with the directors in favor of the locomotive engine were afterward collected and published in 1830 by Robert Stephenson and Joseph Locke, as compiled from the Reports of Mr. George Stephenson. Charles J. Brandling, Esq., occupied the chair; and several resolutions were passed, of which the first and most important was as follows: That it is the opinion of this meeting that Mr. George Stephenson, having _discovered the fact_ that explosion of hydrogen gas will not pass through tubes and apertures of small dimensions, and having been _the first to apply that principle in the construction of a safety-lamp_, is entitled to a public reward.
