Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Hints on Mill Building
My primary object in preparing this book was to place be fore the milling public a distinctively flour - milling and mill building work. This, I have thought, was needed and in its preparation have constantly endeavored to make it plain, simple and entirely practical and if to any extent I have, in the esti mation of the reader, failed in carrying out the design, I hope that such failure will be charged up to my good intentions only, allowing one to balance the other, leaving the book free to stand on its merits exclusively, giving it credit for whatever of value it does contain.
The tables on gearing, belting and shafting I have carefully prepared for this work but much of the other general matter ofa mechanical nature has been Copied from good authorities, prominent among them being chas. H. Haswell. I have pre ferred to give, in the main, th'e productions entire of these authorities, with credit, to rewriting, recompiling and putting them in as original, as they could not have been very much im proved, if at all, and could not have been considered original or any more valuable than in their present shape.
