Excerpt from Diesel Engines for Land and Marine Work The present volume represents the second complete revision since the work was first issued, both of which are rendered essential by the rapid strides that were made in design and construction of the Diesel engine, more particularly for marine work. Whilst practice has become standardized to a certain extent in regard to the manufacture of motors of the stationary type, it is still felt that the application of the engine to marine work is in its infancy. It is, therefore, in the section of the book dealing with Diesel motors for ships' propulsion that the greatest additions have been made. The number of illustrations has been nearly doubled, and besides much descriptive matter dealing with engines of new types that have been built since the last edition was published, there is an additional chapter on the design of Diesel engines. Beyond this the whole of the text has been carefully revised, and considerable additions have been made in the body of the work. In paying a respectful tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Diesel, whose friendship to me was more valued than he knew, I feel that his great satisfaction always was the fact that the work he had initiated was being carried on so eagerly and successfully throughout the whole world.
