Excerpt from The Testing of Motive-Power Engines Including Steam Engines and Turbines, Locomotives, Motives, Boilers, Condensers, Internal, Combustion Engines, Gas Producers, Refrigerators, Air Compressors, Fans, Pumps, Etc Many manufacturers of motive-power engines make tests of a more or less effective character on nearly all their standard products before these leave the works, having installed special testing stations for this pur pose. These firms cannot be said to be particularly interested in the purely scientific aspects of their products, except in so far as such would lead to commercial profit, and thus commercial considerations generally prevent them from making experiments which are not calculated to produce a corresponding gain. Thus it is that, after having established their standard productions, the experimental works testing is mostly concerned with guarantee performances and efficiencies which have to be given in most cases, and, of course, incidentally to effect improvements.
