Seite 332 - This hole was countersunk so as to expose as large a surface as possible to the cathode stream.
Seite 286 - I cannot make up my mind about it. If you consider the action of the cylinder, it is perfectly rigid metal - engine and cylinder together. Now, when the steam presses upon the piston, it is at the same time pressing against the lid of the cylinder; the action and the reaction must be equal.
Seite 286 - ... reaction must be equal. Therefore, I do not believe that it is the steam that causes the irregular action, but I believe it to be the mere weight of the pistons themselves, and therefore if we could contrive to balance the pistons by the weight upon the wheel, we should get rid of that very much...
Seite 384 - Ingenieur, relates a case in which a lead pipe was cut through by an insect that was actually found with its head in the hole pierced by it. A workman was called in to repair a defective pipe which had been injured on a previous occasion, as was reported, by a " nail hole" occurring in a soldered joint.
Seite 110 - The smaller cost of maintaining the cables, as compared with piping, on shifting floors in roadways, ikc. (b.) That the methods described were sufficient to obviate all objections to the use of electric motors in coal-mining, whether by excluding inflammable gases or by constructions which would allow of their safe combustion. (c.) That the experiments, trials, and practical work, extending over four years, showed that — 1. Electrical pumps might be used with advantage and economy for mine-draining....
Seite 312 - Wales, as contractor-s resident engineer, and from 1860 to 1862 he was in the Roads and Bridges Department in the Northern District of New South Wales as a Government assistant engineer. He then spent some time in the United States for the purpose of studying the systems of street tramways. From 1866 to 1868 he was engineer to the North of Europe Land Mining Company, for whom he designed and carried out works. From 1869 to 1873 he was resident engineer to the London Tramways Company, and laid out...
Seite 55 - Frisi. 2s. 6d. 125. COMBUSTION OF COAL, AND THE PREVENTION OF SMOKE, by C. Wye Williams, MICE 3s.
Seite 332 - Embankments across Bogs. — Undrained moss consists of about 90 per cent of water and 10 per cent of vegetable matter, and consequently while in that condition it is quite incapable of sustaining a roadway; but in most cases the surface of the underlying solid ground is above the level of the waterways of the district, and by gradual drainage the fluid mass may be condensed into a more or less solid peat. The drainage should not be effected at too rapid a...
Seite 110 - ... mechanics, on account of — 1. The facility with which it could be used with machines which required to be moved from time to time. 2. The great economy in first cost and reduced cost of working owing to its efficiency being higher than that of compressed air, or any other medium of power transmission. 3. The smaller cost of maintaining the cables, as compared with piping, on shifting floors in roadways, ikc.
