A Practical Treatise Describing in Every Detail the Actual Building of a Gas Engine. By HENRY V. A. PARSELL, Jr., Member A. I. Electrical Engineers, and ARTHUR J. WEED, Mechanical Engineer. Large 8vo. Very Fully Illustrated. With 300 pages. Bound in Cloth. Price $2.50. This book treats of the subject more from the standpoint of practice than that of theory. The principles of operation of Gas Engines are clearly and simply de- scribed, and then the actual construction of a half-horse power engine is taken up, step by step, showing in detail the mak- ing of a Gas Engine. First come directions for making the Th falsof ti this is followed by all the de- tails of the mechanical operations of fin- ishing up and fitting the castings. This is profusely illustrated with beautiful en- gravings of the actual work in progress, showing the modes of chucking, turning, boring and Nacwc ge, Lwe parts in the lathe, and also plainly showing the lining up and erection of the engine. Dimensioned working drawings give clearly the sizes and forms of the various details. @ The entire engine, with the exception of the fly-wheels, is designed to be made on a simple eight-inch lathe, with slide rests. The book closes with a chapter on American practice in Gas Engine design, and gives simple rules so that any one can figure out the dimensions of similar engines of other powers. t= Every illustration in this book is new and original, having been made ex- | Peeaaly for this work.

The system of accounts presented in this book is the result of many years’ close observation and ictical experience, and is what may be termed an interlocking system, under which each and every count in a factory is brought into line monthly, and a general balance of the whole effected. It will be n from an inspection of the diagrams a and B that the system is not only capable of diagrammatic proof, | may, therefore, be relied upon as being complete, but that it may be expanded or contracted as circum- neces may require.
