Excerpt from Power and Power Transmission
The matter contained in the following pages is largely the subject-matter of lectures delivered by the author to students of the elementiary principles of engineering.
The author does not and could not presume to have presented much that is new, but rather a collection of such Oprinciples and information as would direct the beginner along the proper course of study.
In preparing the work free recourse has been had to various works upon the subjects named, from which much subjectmatter has been used.
It is not intended that the subjects treated should be regarded by the student as exhausted, but rather as containing guiding principles for more thorough investigation, either in the classroom or in practice.
The problems at the end of the different chapters are given more for the purpose of fixing in the mind of the student the more important principles contained, than as examples of ypractice, though in fact many of them are such.
To Prof. R.H. Whitlock, whose assistance and encouragement are largely responsible for the undertaking of the preparation of this work, and under whom he has studied for several Jyears, the author wishes to render thanks.
To Prof. Chas. Puryear thanks are due for assistance in reading proof.
The author is under obligations to the various manufacturers who have loaned electrotypes.
