Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Motor and the Dynamo

This book is the result of many year's experience in presenting the essentials of electrical science both to college students and practical electricians. It embodies the substance of laboratory conferences and class room explanations. In every instance these are based on modern types of machines, to the exclusion of antiquated models. An unusually large number of illustrations are inserted for the purpose of dispensing with lengthy descriptions; and thanks are due to various manufacturing companies whose bulletins have furnished numerous half-tones for these pages.

The author hopes that the book may be found practical and direct and sufficiently exhaustive by both college men and electricians.
