Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the workings of electric railway motors, written for a specific audience: motormen who operate electric streetcars. The author, recognizing the lack of accessible information for those working in this new field, aims to provide a clear and engaging explanation of electricity's principles, shunning jargon and focusing on simple experiments that can be replicated by anyone. The book takes a historical approach, introducing the reader to the pioneering work of scientists like Ohm, whose law forms the bedrock of electrical theory. This foundation is then built upon to explain the concepts of electromotive force, resistance, and current flow. The author masterfully utilizes analogies, comparing electricity to the flow of water through pipes, making complex concepts easier to grasp. The book then delves into the intricacies of the electric motor, detailing its construction, operation, and maintenance. The author stresses the importance of understanding why a specific action is required, rather than simply providing a set of rules to follow. Through a series of captivating anecdotes and practical examples, the book reveals the often-overlooked challenges faced by early motormen and illuminates the crucial role of a clear and understandable explanation in mastering this new technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332162154_0
