O knihe

Excerpt from Electricity Control: A Treatise on Electric Switchgear and Systems

Electrical engineers have such an enormous library from which to select their technical literature that to increase its dimensions must be considered an offence, unless it can be shown that there is room for a new book on any particular subject. My excuse for so trespassing must be that, although many books exist on boilers, engines, electric generators, mains, transformers, lamps, etc., no one has dealt exclusively with that part of the system that has been rightly termed the nerve centre.' A reason for this apparent neglect of a very important section is to he found in the fact that such rapid advances in switchgear design are daily being made that it is almost impossible for a book, which necessarily is some months in passing through the press, to be absolutely up - to - date.

It should be explained at the outset that the present work does not pretend to be purely a record of the best modern practice in switchgear design. Quite a large proportion of it is devoted to descriptions of various kinds of apparatus that have been abandoned, with, in many cases, a brief explanation of the reasons of failure.
