Hydraulic Rams: Their Principles and Construction, a Handbook for Practical Men (1907)

Hydraulic Rams: Their Principles And Construction, A Handbook For Practical Men (1907) by James Wright Clarke is a comprehensive guide to the principles and construction of hydraulic rams. The book is intended for practical men and provides a detailed explanation of the workings of hydraulic rams, which are mechanical devices that use the energy of flowing water to pump water uphill without the need for electricity or fuel.The book begins by explaining the basic principles of hydraulic rams, including the physics of water flow and the various components of a ram. It then goes on to describe the different types of rams, including the common hydraulic ram, the pulsometer, and the hydraulic turbine.The book also covers the construction of hydraulic rams, including the materials and tools needed, as well as step-by-step instructions for building a ram. There are also sections on maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair.Throughout the book, Clarke provides clear and concise explanations, accompanied by diagrams and illustrations, making it easy for readers to understand the complex workings of hydraulic rams. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, principles, and construction of hydraulic rams, as well as for those looking to build or maintain their own ram.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
