Abstract
IN the preface the authors state that the time devoted in technical colleges to the study of alternating current machines varies between wide limits. It is stated that a definite text-book is chosen and the syllabus is constructed from it. Granting this, it is of great importance that the text-book be comprehensive and thorough. The present volume is a treatise which covers a very wide ground. The authors admit that only a fraction of the material in the book can be studied in the classroom.
