Book excerpt: Excerpt from Continuous-Current Dynamos in Theory and Practice: With Details of Methods and Formulae Used in Construction; A Practical Handbook for Designers, Manufacturers, and Users The number of English books dealing with the theory and construction of continuous-current dynamos is already by 0 means inconsiderable, and includes many excellent works - such Gisbert Kapp and Prof. S. P. Thompson. In order to justify the publication of the present volume, a brief sketch of its special characteristics, together with some account of the purposes which it is intended to serve, may not be out of place. The general and theoretical education of electrical students in England and the United States, however excellent it may be, can hardly be expected to produce finished electrical engineers. Indeed, the problems which occur in practice are not of a kind to admit of introduction into a college curriculum, where the main object must be to impart a theoretical education as complete and many-sided as possible. Thus the student's term of learning is by no means ended when he enters into the sphere of practical work; indeed, it may be said to have only then commenced, since he is then for the first time thrown on his own resources. On the other hand, anyone who has taken this step will remember the difficulty of the transition, and how much valuable time was lost before he made himself at home in his new sphere. In order to lighten this task, the author has in the present volume brought together all those practical formulae which are indispensable for the construction or critical examination of continuous-current dynamos. The applications of these formulae are fully explained by the aid of numerous numerical examples. The text is further supplemented by a large number of illustrations, representing in detail machines which have been actually constructed. It is hoped that the tabular matter and descriptions of these machines will serve to increase the critical knowledge of the reader. There remains the agreeable task of expressing my best thanks to the various firms, both English and foreign, who have most kindly placed drawings and tables at my disposal. I venture to express the hope that it will be possible for me in a later edition to devote greater attention to English and American machines.
