Excerpt from A Text-Book of Engineering, Vol. 13: For Secondary Technical Schools The preparation of this text-book is the result of four years' experience in the class-room in giving students of a secondary technical school of the highest grade the maximum of engineering instruction admissible, considering the time at disposal and the maturity of the students. It is believed that the simplicity employed in the presentation of the elements of the different subjects gives an excellent groundwork upon which to build, should the graduate fail to pursue to completion his technical education at a university. In the event of his entry into a university, it is established by precedent that he should be able to obtain a degree in two years. It is intended that the first six chapters of Part I., supplemented by some elementary text on the constructive details of steam machinery - such as that by Spangler, Greene, and Marshall - shall constitute the course for the third year students, the remainder of the book is to be covered during the fourth year. Correlative with the subject-matter of the book, it will be found that there is necessity for a course in mathematics, including the Calculus, and one in Demonstrative Mechanics, together with facilities for experimental work in a fairly equipped mechanical laboratory. The article in the Appendix on the distribution of steam in a cylinder and the formation of the indicator diagram was contributed by Mr. W. L. DeBaufre of the class of 1903, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, now a senior at Lehigh University. Due acknowledgment is made to Mr. S. P. Platt, Instructor in charge of Mechanical Drawing at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, for assistance in making the drawings.
