Excerpt from The American Gas Engineer and Superintendents' Hand Book: Consisting of Rules, Reference Tables and Original Matter Pertaining to the Manufacture, Manipulation and Distribution of Illuminating Gas If this book should fail to fill the said void it will be at least an attempt in that direction, which may be fully accomplished in a future edition. There is no good reason why there should not be an American Hand Book for gas engineers and others engaged or interested in the manufacture of gas. Our coinage, weights and measures are different from those of other countries, and we differ greatly in many other things. Even our English relatives, speaking the same language, have a different coinage, and many differences in their weights and measures. Much valuable matter, the fruit of experiments and study by men eminent in the profession, is practically lost, when published in the technical journals, and when wanted, cannot readily be found.
