In the interval which has elapsed since the publication of theE irst Edition, there has been considerable development in nearly all directions. ,0f epoch-making innovations there has been none, but progress has been continuous. As a result, it has been necessary to rewrite the whole, and the expansion of all sections has been so great that in order to keep within reasonable limits some have had to be abandoned. Eor this reason, the subject of Eault Localisation, as distinguished fromE ault Detection, has been omitted, as have also Relays andO ver Pressure Devices. Pyrometers, on the other hand, have again been dealt with at some length. The success attending theE irst Edition appeared to warrant a continuance of the same method of treatment, which has accordingly been followed. Thus, it wiU be found that the mathematics is of the simplest, vector diagrams being used wherever possible, and in this contiection the following paragraph may be quoted from the Preface to theE irst Edition :M athematicians will doubtless deplore the almostentire absence of mathematics, but, writing as an engineer, for engineers, the author is strongly of opinion that higher mathematics would be quite out of place. He believes that the only way to get a thorough ihsight into any phenomenon is to obtain a clear mental picture of what is taking place, and that, except to the mind of the trained mathematician, a mathematical solution too often fails to bridge over that wide gulf which separates the abstract from the concrete.

Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention
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.
