Excerpt from Practical Electricity: With Questions and Answers
In March, 1896, The Armature Winder made its first appearance, its attractive feature being the commencement of a series of lectures on designing dynamos and motors, these lectures being written from daily shop practice, and made comprehensible by questions and their subsequent answers. As each paper with its lecture made its appearance, the interest manifested by readers became more pronounced, until we were flooded with inquiries for numbers which the various readers had missed. As we had only reserved a very few papers of each issue, our ability to supply the back numbers was limited. We consequently decided to print the lectures in book form, and so notified our readers of this decision, with the result that orders for the book came in, in quantities which were beyond anything we had anticipated. This evidence of the popularity of our efforts encouraged us in compiling a work much more extensive and valuable than had at first been our intention. In order to accomplish this, we felt the necessity of associating with us a man of greater technical knowledge than we ourselves possessed, so that the work might be thoroughly criticized and enlarged. We selected Mr. John C. Lincoln, an electrical engineer of national reputation, who has contributed articles to this book covering matters of great interest, and, so far as we have been able to learn, ideas never before appearing in print.
