"Rough and Tumble Engineering"


And if you want to keep yourself posted as to what is being done by
other threshermen throughout the world, read some good "Threshermen's
Home journal." The American Thresherman for instance is the "warmest
baby in the bunch." And if anything new under the sun comes out you will
find it in the pages of this bright and newsy journal. Keep to the
front in your business. Your business is as much a business as any other
profession, and while it may not be quite as remunerative as a R. R.
attorney, or the president of a life insurance company it is just as
honorable, and a good engineer is appreciated by his employer just as
much as a good man in any other business. A good engineer can not only
always have a job, but he can select his work. That is if there is any
choice of engines in a neighborhood the best man gets it.

SOMETHING ABOUT PRESSURE _________
Now before bringing this somewhat lengthy lecture to a close, (for I
consider it a mere lecture, a talk with the boys) I want to say
something more about pressure. You notice that I have not advocated a
very high pressure; I have not gone beyond 125 lbs.
