Excerpt from Hydraulic Rams: Their Principles and Construction, Including Some Experiments Carried Out by the Author at the Regent Street Polytechnic and Various Parts of the Country The Author, when a boy, was fascinated by the working of a hydraulic ram, which he had frequent opportunities of seeing, near his home in the country; since then he has had to do with a great many, both old and new. The experience he has gained in practice, and from a large number of experiments with a ram especially fitted for the Regent Street Polytechnic, has been of great value to him for both practical and lecturing purposes. Thinking the subject matter of this little book would be of interest to his fellow-workers it was published in the Plumber and Decorator, and, as it has been asked for, it is w issued in its present handy form. No claim is made to literary merit, but the Author hopes this may be found useful, and meet with the same kind reception that has been accorded his other books.
