The Science Of Railways Vol 12 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Science of Railways, Vol. 7 The accompanying volume represents the practical experience and research of the author and those about him, for a period of nearly half a century. In his work he has not sought to create something that was his own so much as he has to develop something of value to railroads and, incidentally, to the commerce of the world. While he has given the subject his best thought all his life, he has at the same time sought to supplement his knowledge and at best limited experience, with that of others. In this he has been, owing to the kindness of those about him and those generally connected with railroads, more fortunate than could have been expected. It is on these grounds that he has written the book and now ventures to offer it to the public. The first of the two books that make up this volume explains briefly the principles that surround the buying and handling of railway supplies. The subject is one of supreme importance to railroad corporations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
