Excerpt from Applied Electricity: A Text-Book of Electrical Engineering, for Second Year Students This book is intended as a Text-book of Electrical Engineering for second year students. I define these as students who have already become acquainted with the elementary fundamental principles and laws of Magnetism and Electricity, and who have also a knowledge of the elements of Mechanics, Heat, and Mathematics. It may seem that I am assuming too much for the average student in a Technical Institute, but if he is to gain any really useful knowledge of this subject such preliminary training is absolutely essential. My experience teaches me that students are quite prepared to devote their first year to this preliminary work when the necessity for and the subsequent advantage of it are pointed out. This volume is intended to be a direct "follow-on" to this first year work. In it I have endeavoured to describe the fundamental principles of applied magnetism and electricity, and have been careful to show how the practical applications are related to the phenomena of "pure" science. In fact, I have tried to treat the subject with absolute continuity, so that there shall be no line of demarcation dividing the region of pure from that of applied electricity. But, of course, I have only dealt with those sections of pure science which are connected with modern electrical practice. Wherever it has been possible I have described laboratory experiments in some detail, so that the book will be useful not only as a supplement to a course of lectures but also in the laboratory, where the student may perform the experiments and make determinations himself.

Excerpt from Practical Applied Electricity: A Book in Plain English for the Practical Man, Theory, Practical Applications and Examples This book is intended primarily for those persons who are desirous of obtaining a practical knowledge of the subject of Electricity, but are unable to take a complete course in Electrical Engineering. It is the opinion of the author that such persons should have a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of the subject, in order that they may easily understand the applications in practice. Numerous examples arc solved throughout the book, which serve to illustrate the practical application of certain laws and principles and give the reader an opportunity to more readily grasp their true significance. The text is based, to a certain extent, upon a series of lectures given in the evening classes in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Armour Institute of Technology. The arrangement is not the one usually followed, and to some it may not appear to be logical; but it is one the author has found very satisfactory. Although the book was not originally intended to be used as a text-book, it is, however, especially adapted for use in the practical courses given in the various High and Manual Training Schools, and at the same time gives a substantial groundwork for the more advanced college and university courses. The author wishes to express his thanks to the various manufacturing companies who have been very kind in supplying material and cuts, and to Professor E. H. Freeman, head of the Department of Electrical Engineering of Armour Institute of Technology, for a number of valuable suggestions.
