✦ Synopsis

The following article is an abstract of a test made by Messrs. Kidwell and Keller for a graduating thesis in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The engine had been in use for a long time without overhauling by the makers, but was in fair average condition. The admirable set of experiments, conducted under the auspices of the Society of Arts, the results of which were published after these experiments were made, seemed to make it unnecessary to publish the entire record and work of the test, but as some of the results are worked-out in a somewhat different way, a short account of the test and its results may be of interest.
