To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
now constantly employed for the purpose of ascertaining the work actually done by an engine, especially that of a steam-ship. It is not my business to enter into purely mechanical details, and therefore I shall only say that this diagram is traced out by a pencil attached to the piston-rod of the engine, and therefore sharing its to-and-fro motion ; while it has also a motion in a direction perpendicular to the piston-rod, such that the displacement at any in- \ stant is proportional to the pre...ssure in the cylinder at that instant. To fix the ideas, suppose the cylinder to be horizontal, and the just-mentioned transverse motion vertical. Then any re-entrant line whatever may be supposed to be traced, once over in each cycle of the engine, by the pencil P. For reasons to be afterwards explained, I take the curvilinear quadrilateral PP'QQ. Let Ov be the axis of the cylinder, Op perpendicular to it ; and let PM be perpendicular to Ov. Then, by our TRANSFORMATION OF HEAT INTO WORK. 109 conditions, OM represents the distance of the piston from the bottom of the cylinder ; i.
