New out of a Defiance, Ohio, secondary school, Thomas Boyd (1898– 1935) joined the Marines to serve his nation in the devoted warmth of the spring of 1917. In 1919 he got back home from the war with a Croix de Guerre and a craving to compose. He joined the St. Paul News as a writer and opened a book shop, whose supporters included F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis. Through the Wheat appeared to quick recognition, with F. Scott Fitzgerald calling it "a masterpiece" and "capturing." Boyd composed five different works before he passed away in Vermont of a cerebral discharge at age thirty-seven.

Excerpt from Through the WheatUsk, like soft blue smoke, fell with the dying spring air and settled upon the northern French village. In the uncertain light one and two story buildings set along the crooked street showed crisply, bearing a resem blance to false teeth in an ash-old face. To young Hicks, disconsolate as he leaned against the outer wall of the French canteen, upon whose smooth white surface his body made an unseemly blot, life was worth very little.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

Not illustrated. 1877 Excerpt: ... piston moves twice the diameter of the crankpath, or 4 feet, the weight B ascends once the circumference of the same, or 3 14 x 2 = 6 28 feet, and the weight B must be less than the strain on A in the ratio of 4 to 6 28 or 1 to 6 28-f-4 = 1"57. The power exerted in raising the weight B varies with every position of the crank, at F and G it is nothing, and at H and J it is greater than at B in the ratio given. The fly-wheel E equalizes these irregularities by absorbing the extra power at H and J, and giving it out again at F and G, but evidently the crank-shaft K has a greater strain upon it than the shaft L in the ratio of 1-57 to 1, and must be made stronger to resist it, although the horse-power is the same in both cases. Thus, with 100-horse engine, the shaft K has to bear a maximum strain of 157 horse-power, and if the same value of Wl were used in both cases, its diameter would have to be calculated for that power by the rules; but the usual course is to increase the multiplier in the proper ratio. (77.) With two engines coupled together by one shaft with cranks at a right angle, or 90 as usual, the strain is much less variable than with one crank, being 1 to 111 instead of 1.57, so that a single engine of 100 horse-power would require a crank-shaft equal in strength to an ordinary shaft of 157 horsepower, but two engines of the combined power of 100 horses require a shaft of 111 horse-power only. In our case Fig. 18, the strain on the piston is 113 X 20 = 2260 lbs., and the work done in one revolution is 2260 x 4 x 40 = 361,600 foot-pounds; the weight B is 2260-M.57 = 1440 lbs., and the work done in raising it is 1440 x 6 28 x 40 = 361,600 foot-pounds also. (78.) The value of M for cast-iron crank-shafts of steamengines may be taken at 400, whic...
