Excerpt from Dynamo Construction
A Few words may be given here in explanation of my aim in offering this Handbook of the Dynamo-electric Machine.
Much has been done by several well-informed writers towards disseminating a knowledge of the principles of the dynamo, but I could not attempt to decide whether the course of study laid down by these learned authorities has commended itself generally to engineers. It is, however, beyond dispute, that although the excellent works of two or three English authors have done a great deal towards spreading correct views of the theory of the dynamo, their labours have not covered the technical requirements of ordinary engineers and mechanics. The electrotechnical journals of this country, recognising this fact, have of late begun to devote a good deal of attention to the mechanics of the dynamo. They have engaged the best known writers, consisting mostly of practical men, to throw light upon the jealously-guarded "mysteries" of the dynamo-builder's art, and doubtless with great success. But while this important work of instruction is in progress in those journals, there are numerous engineering students who will, no doubt, welcome a fairly complete Handbook upon the subject. It is to this class that I look for readers.
