The Slide Valve: Practically Considered is a book written by Nicholas Procter Burgh and published in 1865. The book is a comprehensive guide to the design, construction, and operation of slide valves, which are a type of valve used in steam engines to control the flow of steam. The book begins with an introduction to the principles of steam power and the role of the slide valve in controlling the flow of steam in an engine. It then goes on to discuss the various types of slide valves, their construction, and their advantages and disadvantages. The book also covers the design and construction of valve gear, which is the mechanism that controls the movement of the slide valve. It includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the workings of the valve gear and how it affects the operation of the engine. In addition to the technical aspects of slide valves and valve gear, the book also discusses practical considerations such as maintenance and repair. It includes tips and advice for keeping slide valves in good working order, as well as troubleshooting tips for identifying and fixing common problems. Overall, The Slide Valve: Practically Considered is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the design and operation of steam engines, particularly those who work in the field of mechanical engineering. Its detailed explanations and illustrations make it a useful reference for both students and professionals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
