Frank Duncan Graham
Frank Duncan Graham (1875—19??) was a prolific and eloquent writer of the ever popular and frequently reprinted Audel's guides of various titles. Graham seemed to specialize, however, in subjects related to steam engines and other types of engines.
A few of Graham's more epic works include his eight volume Audel's Engineers and Mechanics Guide, 1921, which covered subjects as diverse as flying "aeroplanes" to steam engines and house wiring, and the 12 volume Audel's New Electric Library, 1929, covering practically all that was known about electricity up to the time.
A few (but not all) of the other Audel's books by Graham include: Audel's Handy Book of Practical Electricity, Audel's Power Plant Engineer's Guide, Audel's House Heating Guide, and Audel's Machinists & Tool Makers Handy Book.
Graham was a graduate of Princeton University, with a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering and a licensed marine and stationary engineer with the Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey. Graham's place of residence was near Sea Bright, New Jersey, on a farm sometimes referred to in his works as "Stornoway". Graham also built two steam powered yachts as demonstrators of his theories on steam plant construction and management, the Stornoway and Stornoway II. It is not known if either of these vessels survive today.
