Author Description

"This book was first published in 1947 on behalf of the Minister of Fuel and Power in order to provide information in a convenient form about the correct use of steam for heating power production in factories..."The Efficient Use of Steam" is a practical book with the minimum of theory. It deals with the design, maintenance and operation of the types of steam plants and accessories used in industry, and with the tables and formulae needed for ready reference by works engineers. Sir Oliver Lyle has a gift for clear exposition and a lively style of writing. The book will be read with pleasure by those well versed in the subject and with profit by those who lack specialised training but are concerned with efficiency in the use of steam as an important item of cost in factory management."
