Book Overview

The Indicator and Dynamometer, written by Thomas John Main and originally published in 1864, is a comprehensive guide to the use and application of engine indicators and dynamometers. The book is aimed at engineers and mechanics who are interested in understanding the principles behind the measurement of engine performance, and how to use these tools to improve efficiency and reliability.The first part of the book covers the basics of engine indicators, including their construction, operation, and interpretation of the results obtained from them. Main explains the different types of indicators, such as the Bourdon, pencil, and Thompson indicators, and provides detailed instructions on how to install and use them.The second part of the book focuses on dynamometers, which are used to measure the power output of engines. Main discusses the different types of dynamometers, including the Prony brake, hydraulic, and electric dynamometers, and explains how to install and use them.Throughout the book, Main provides practical examples and case studies to illustrate the use of indicators and dynamometers in real-world scenarios. He also includes detailed diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand the principles behind these tools.Overall, The Indicator and Dynamometer is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of engine performance and the use of measurement tools to improve efficiency and reliability.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
