The Elements of Direct Current Electrical Engineering (Classic Reprint)

The main object of the authors of this work has been to bridge the gap existing between the elementary text-books on magnetism and simple current electricity, Ohm sL aw, etc., and so many of the more advanced books which del with the design point of view. Not only the authors, but ako many of their friends, have often found difficulty in commending Ustudents a book which woild. without containing many details of a nature more or less superfluous to the purpose, present in a concise form to second-year students at Universities and Technical Schools the theoretical principles underlying Direct Current Electrical Engineering. No attempt has been made to avoid the use of the Calculus where it simplifies proofs, since it is an essential to all students of engineering ;but, in this book, only a very elementary knowledge of that subject is -demanded. 5W ith a view to simphfication, only typical examples and cases are considered, as, for instance, in the chapter on instruments, since, if these are thoroughly mastered, other types of instruments and machines will be readily understood. Thanks are due toM essrs. MetropoU tan Vickers Electrical Company and the Reason Manufacturing Company for valuable help with drawings and information. In spite of careful revision, errors easily creep into a work of this nature and, in such a case, the authors will be grateful to have any of these pointed out to them or to receive suggestions as to a second edition, if that should be required.
