Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1880, Vol. 1 I hope, and feel well assured, that its mission is a great one and that its work will prove to be of a value fully commensurate with the magnitude of the interests over which its members stand guard.
