Excerpt from Rider's Little Engineer: A Pocket-Book of Engineering and Other Data Relative to Many Subjects

The Little Engineer has no apology to make. It is simply a compilation, taken for the most part from the author's private note books.

It is intended for the use of up to-date officials and others, who can, if occasion requires, take the place of any subordinate, run the boiler, take the pump apart. Rig the derrick, mix the mortar, caulk the Joint.
