Abstract
THIS volume is written for engineers and for students in engineering laboratories. It contains very few mathematical formulae and very little theory. It will be useful to electricians in testing laboratories and to students who have a wide elementary theoretical knowledge of the subject. As a work of reference it will be of value; the methods of testing given are good and many of them are standard methods in the United States. The methods given of diagnosing the causes of faulty running in machinery can also be com-mended. We notice that in this edition the chapters on telephone practice have been omitted and also the chapter on primary cells. The book therefore deals more exclusively with heavy engineering.
