Text Appearing Before Image:
it is the object of my paper to describe.In Appletons Encyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics,published in 1878, and edited by the ablest corps ofspecialists ever employed at that date in this country,is a very full and complete article on the steam engine,but it makes no reference whatever to the use of theshaft governor, which was perhaps inexcusable atthat date, as a shaft governor was exhibited at theCentennial Exposition in 1876. The oldest book which I have in my library con-taining references to the shaft governor is SteamUsing; or. Steam Engine Practice, written by Prof.Charles A. Smith, of St. Louis, in 1885.
