Sara Sklaroff for The Washington Post, [9] praised Pratchett's innate ability to balance the silly and the serious. Pratchett "blasts fundamentalists who resist all progress." But mostly he seems to be "having fun with words in the very British strain of absurdist humor." A Day in the Limelight: Harry King, who's been a minor character in several books, is one of the main characters in this one. Rufus Drumknott is also unusually present, and in fact receives the most physical description he's ever gotten. Some criticised it for this but with the benefit of hindsight, it seems clear to me that Pratchett intended the novel as a way to say goodbye to his creations.

Moist is apparently yet another person who was traumatized by the picture of the jolly goblin when he was a child.You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The extremist grags routinely abduct non-traditionalist dwarfs, interrogate them for information, then send them on their way with a bag of gold... only to kill them before they leave the room. After all, they're not true dwarfs, so they're the enemy.

Each valve must be able to release all the steam the boiler can produce without the The air pumps (called vacuum pumps these days) evacuate air and water from the condensers, with the air pumps extracting non-condensables and helping the vacuum in so doing. This improves the exhaust flow through the engines and also extracts the maximum energy from the steam. They are situated in the turbine room by the condensers and are of course steam driven. We start these in the usual way, and leave them to help draw a vacuum on the condensers (once steam from the main engines condenses}, usually around 28.5in with an atmospheric pressure of 30in. In modern day parlance these dual air-water pumps would be termed vacuum pumps and condensate pumps respectively.Simnel is the personification of progress, a modest master of steel and steam. Despite his dialogue occasionally veering into a Monty Python grim oop north stereotype, I enjoyed reading about his faith in locomotion and respect for what he was creating: All boiler controls, regulators, alarms and trips must be tested regularly in accordance with the applicable Planned Maintenance System and maker’s recommendations. Each test is to be recorded with the signature of the Engineer Officer who conducted the test....
