First sentence: Cylinders are perhaps the most commonly used means throughout industry for imparting a straight line motion.
Description: A very accessible introduction to the application of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in industrial applications. Although published over a half century ago, the basic principles of fluid power engineering are little changed, and this book is still applicable today.
Notes: My grandfather, the author, was 'Mr Fluid Power' in the Great Lakes region from before WWII until the early 1960s.  This book, apparently created from the articles he wrote for "Applied Hydraulics" magazine, includes a very practical grounding in the fundamentals of the application of fluid power, using his clever and humorous drawings to illustrate the principles.
