A Treatise on Refrigerating and Ice-Making Machinery is published and printed by the International Correspondence Schools. This publication is essentially a course packet including a series of informational texts intended to educate the reader on the subject of refrigeration and ice-making machinery at the turn of the twentieth century. With that in mind, the book does not only address mechanics and engineering, it also highlights information on mathematics, chemistry and mechanical drawing. This is a great starter book for anyone interested on the topics of refrigeration and twentieth century mechanical engineering. The text contains a vast array of mechanical information and includes extra content on pneumatics, heat, steam, and steam engines. The book also contains a series of questionnaires and quizzes (along with the answers) for the reader to test themselves on their knowledge of the subjects presented within the text. This book covers such a bevy of practical information that an individual could feasibly utilize it to learn elementary algebra and trigonometric functions, arithmetic, logarithms, and elementary mechanics. The book also contains a full list of definitions for the topics explored within the text and a complete index for the reader to reference when looking for specific topic to explore. A Treatise on Refrigerating and Ice-Making Machinery is an engaging and informative exploration of mechanical principles and engineering education. This book is an educational read for anyone interested in elementary studies or more complex engineering and physics topics. This publication establishes a good basic level of understanding that can be expanded upon in books with more advanced content.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Refrigerating and Ice-Making Machinery, Vol. 2: Pneumatics, Heat, Steam and Steam Engines, Principles of Refrigeration, Refrigerating and Ice-Making Machinery The two papers in this volume that deal with the sub ject Of refrigerating and ice-making machinery give the practical engineer enough of the theory to enable him to handle all the problems that he is likely to meet. They also give him those practical pointers regarding the opera ting Of a plant that will enable him to Obtain economically the maximum refrigerating effect and show him how to tell from general Observation the capacity and efficiency Of his plant. Considerable information is also given regarding the erection, operation, and installation of plants, together with general rules for remodeling an Old plant or designing a new one. Both the absorption and compression types Of machines are treated. As a preliminary to the discussion Of ice-making and refrigerating machinery, short papers on hydraulics, pneumatics, and heat are included in this volume. As mentioned above, this volume is printed from the plates used in printing the Reference Libraries Of the Inter national Correspondence Schools. On account Of the omis sion Of certain papers, the material contained in which is given in better form elsewhere, there are several breaks in the continuity Of the page numbers, formula numbers, article numbers, etc. This, however, does not impair the value Of the volume, as the index has been reprinted and made to conform to the present arrangement.
