Excerpt from A Description of the Crosby Steam-Engine Indicator In this pamphlet, which accompanies and introduces The Crosby Steam Engine Indicator, we desire to draw the attention of all persons interested in the steam engine to the great advantages attending the use of this instrument, and to give such information as will enable any person to use it to the best advantage. It is not intended to be a treatise on the Indicator, but merely to present, in an intelligible form for practical use, a few facts which have been gleaned from various sources, namely: the invention of the first Indicator; its primitive condition; subsequent improvements; as improved by Geo. H. Crosby in 1879; what it is now capable of doing; how to do it; and what to do with it after using. There are also given a few explanations as to the diagram and formulas for calculating the power of the engine.
