Abstract
(1) THE applications of electricity in the telegraph and telephone services are now so numerous and so highly specialised that no one can claim to have an expert knowledge of every branch. It has been decided, therefore, to produce a series of handbooks which will cover the whole of the ground involved. The editor of the series is Sir William Slingo, late engineer-in-chief of the Post Office, and most of the authors are on the staff of the Engineering Department. Judging from the present volume and from the names of the authors preparing the other volumes of the series, we shall soon have a very complete and thorough account of English telegraphic and telephonic practice.
