A Handbook of Engine and Boiler Trials, and of the Indicator and Prony Brake is a comprehensive guide to the testing and evaluation of steam engines and boilers, written by Robert Henry Thurston. First published in 1890, this handbook provides detailed instructions and methodologies for conducting accurate and reliable trials.

The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of indicator diagrams to assess engine performance, the application of the Prony brake for measuring power output, and the analysis of boiler efficiency. It offers practical advice on instrumentation, data collection, and the interpretation of results, making it an invaluable resource for engineers, technicians, and students involved in the design, operation, and maintenance of steam power plants.

Thurstona?(TM)s meticulous approach and clear explanations ensure that readers can confidently perform engine and boiler trials, contributing to the optimization and improvement of these critical systems. This historical text remains relevant for its foundational knowledge and practical insights into the field of mechanical engineering.
