Abstract
THIS is a small book presenting “a simple exposition of the geometrical principles connected with the screw propeller, and illustrating the various ways in which these may be applied to obtain a correct delineation of the propeller on paper, in the drawing office, and in the foundry.” It is intended principally for the use of engineering students in technical schools, but is likely to prove useful in other directions, since it contains a clear and admirably illustrated account of the geometry of screw propellers.
