"Maxims and Instructions for the Boiler Room" by N. Hawkins is a late 19th-century technical manual designed as a complete resource for engineers, firemen, and mechanics dealing directly with steam generators. It acts as a guide full of details on how to safely and effectively work with steam production, including boiler construction, daily operations, and important safety protocols needed in industrial environments. The book starts by putting the reader in the mind of an engineer, showing the crucial thinking process about materials, fuel, pressure, and how to maintain efficiency and safe practices. Hawkins stresses that knowing the materials and practical skills are the keys to becoming proficient in steam engine operation and acknowledges the sharing of know-how between the old guard engineers to the new generation of engineers. The manual aims to assist both beginners and seasoned pros in improving their knowledge of steam engineering.
