Synopsis
Excerpt from The Application of Highly Superheated Steam to Locomotives: Being a Reprint From a Series of Articles Appearing in the Engineer
As it was suggested to me that it would be an advantage if these articles were available in book form, I consented to edit the same for publication, and trust that, as now presented, they may be of service to those interested in the introduction of superheated steam. While the text of the articles as they originally appeared in T he Engineer has been subjected to revision, care has been taken to preserve unaltered the views originally expressed by the author.
I would refer those who are desirous of studying the question in greater detail to the larger German work by Mr. Garbe, entitled Die Dampflokomotiven der Gegenwart, published by Messrs. Julius Springer, Berlin, in which volume they will find a mass of valuable information and data in regard to the use of superheated steam on locomotives.
