Now I think what I have said regarding this particular governor will
enable you to handle any one you may come in contact with, as they are
all very much alike in these respects. It is not my intention to take
time and space to describe a governor in detail. If you will follow the
instructions I have given you the governor will attend to the rest.
PART SECOND ________
WATER SUPPLY
If you want to be a successful engineer it is necessary to know all
about the pump. I have no doubt that many who read this book, cannot
tell why the old wooden pump (from which he has pumped water ever since
he was tall enough to reach the handle) will pump water simply because
he works the handle up and down. If you don't know this I have quite a
task on my hands, for you must not attempt to run an engine until you
know the principle of the pump. If you do understand the old town pump,
I will not have much trouble with you, for while there is no old style
wooden pump used on the engine, the same principles are used in the
cross head pump. Do not imagine that a cross head pump means something
to be dreaded.
