Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For hundreds of years, people faced the problem of how to transport goods and passengers over long distances. But what could create enough power to move tons of freight? The answer came with the invention of the steam engine! Engineers in England worked for years to perfect an engine that used the power of steam to run large machinery. From simple pumps in the mines to small boilers, engines got better, bigger, and stronger. Finally, by the late 1820s, inventors had created powerful locomotives that could pull many times their weight and the first commercial railways were built. The age of the locomotive was born. Follow the technical challenges and meet the clever inventors who changed the world and gave people a whole new way to travel.

This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally written in the late 1900¿s and then periodically revised, A History of the Baldwin Locomotive Works chronicles the origins and growth of one of America¿s greatest industrial-era corporations. Founded in the early 1830¿s by Philadelphia jeweler Matthais Baldwin, the company built a huge number of steam locomotives before ceasing production in 1949. These included the 4-4-0 American type, 2-8-2 Mikado and 2-8-0 Consolidation. Hit hard by the loss of the steam engine market, Baldwin soldiered on for a brief while, producing electric and diesel engines. General Electric¿s dominance of the market proved too much, and Baldwin finally closed its doors in 1956. By that time over 70,500 Baldwin locomotives had been produced. This high quality reprint of the official company history dates from 1920. The book has been slightly reformatted, but care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.

Book Synopsis An Economic History of British Steam Engines, 1774-1870 by : Haris Kitsikopoulos
Download or read book An Economic History of British Steam Engines, 1774-1870 written by Haris Kitsikopoulos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the diffusion trajectory of the second and third generation of British steam engines, the Watt and high-pressure models, covering the period 1774 to 1870. It begins by subjecting to econometric analysis the latest version of Dr. Kanefsky's database on 18th century steam engines coming up with an upward revision of the total amount of horsepower installed by 1800. Subsequent chapters delve into the determinants of the diffusion process through the third quarter of the 19th century relating to engines used both in mining and industry as well as transportation (railways, steam cars). The book's main contribution to the literature lies in drawing material from a very large volume of 18th- and 19th-century sources found in the Dibner Library of Rare Books, Smithsonian, and by utilizing a fair amount of technical literature pertaining to the economic factors driving the diffusion process. This great expansion of the empirical material has led to bringing multiple revisions to the work of other authors on the key aspects and determinants of the diffusion process. In conjunction with the publication by the author of an earlier monograph on the first generation of steam engines, the Newcomen model, the present study completes the task of offering the most comprehensive account of the preeminent and most strategic technology of the British Industrial Revolution. This book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of economic history and history of technology, interested in a better understanding of the industrial revolution in general and the role of British steam engines in particular.
