Stationary steam engines, simple and compound; especially as adapted to electric lighting purposes
Robert Henry Thurston's 1890 technical treatise on stationary steam engines, published by John Wiley & Sons in New York for engineers and plant operators fitting engines to electric lighting plants. The plates are side-elevation wood engravings of named engines — Greene, Corliss, Wheelock — shown in full on plank flooring with flywheels, governors, cylinders and piping rendered in fine hatching against a plain ground, useful for silhouettes, machine profiles and line-shaded detail.
