The following is a portion of a Review by R. Mallet, Esq., M.I.C.E., etc. : "Mr. Burgh's methods are viewed here in the practical light of the workshop, and with good examples of how the principles inculcated have been carried out by some of our best engineering firms. The most essential questions in relation to valve gear-and no working man who is ignorant of them is fit to be entrusted with the management, much less repair, of either a land or a marine engine of any magnitude-such as the effect upon the successive positions of the valve of the length of the connecting rod, and also that of the eccentric rod or its equivalent-are extremely clearly put and well illustrated, and simple diagrams and rules are given for finding the errors of traverse and their correction. The last three chapters are wholly of a practical character, and treat of the proportions of slide valves as employed by our great engineering firms-Penn, Maudslay, Ravenhill, Watt, etc.-with eleven illustrated and illustrative examples, and of modes of packing, balancing, etc.”
