Summary "Practical Rules for the Management of a Locomotive Engine" by Charles Hutton Gregory is a technical publication written in the early 19th century. This guide aims to provide practical instructions for the operation and management of locomotive engines, focusing on safety and efficiency during both routine operations and emergency situations. The book is structured into sections that detail the essential practices for managing a locomotive engine, whether it is stationary, in motion, or dealing with accidents. Gregory emphasizes the need for careful inspections and routine maintenance, outlining specific procedures for checking various engine components before departure and during travel. He covers vital aspects of running the engine, such as regulating steam, monitoring fuel and water levels, and responding to any mechanical failures. Notably, he includes regulations for the initial appointment of engine-men, ensuring that those in charge of operating locomotives possess the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure safe and efficient railway travel. The work serves as a crucial resource for engineers and operators in the railway industry at the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
