Page 795 - The sectional area of the body of the forging (as forged) shall not exceed one-fifth of the sectional area of the original ingot, and no part of the forging (as forged) shall have more than two-thirds of the sectional area of the original ingot.
Page 111 - Wherever pockets necessarily occur, the pipe will be drained and trapped. All branches from the pipe to pumps or engines on a lower level will have the stopvalve for such machinery close to the main pipe, with a spindle for working it from below, so that when the pump or engine is standing idle there will be no opportunity for water to collect in the vertical pipe leading to it, which must be blown out before starting.
Page 211 - When analysing some characteristics of coal as affecting the performance with steam boilers, WL Abbot found that when the ash contents of the coal (screenings of various size) had been increased to 40 per cent the coal could still be burnt and would heat the water up to the boiling point, but it would not produce enough heat to make steam. So when heating boilers the useful effect from the fuel drops to zero with 40 per cent of ash, notwithstanding the fact that the other 60 per cent of the composition...

In the second type, B, where another cloud intervenes between the cloud carrying the primary charge and the earth, the two clouds practically form a condenser ; and when a discharge from the first takes place into the second the free charge on the earth side of the lower cloud is suddenly relieved, and the disruptive discharge from the latter to the earth takes such an erratic course that no series of lightning conductors...
