Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electrical Industry: Lighting, Traction, and Power On the other hand, the industry has made tremendous progress in the twenty Odd years since it was born - progress much more rapid than that made, say, by the steam-engine a century ago. There are reasons for the rapidity of the advance, and a glance at the history of the science will Show how it was that electricity suddenly appeared in the commercial world after having passed centuries in the grub-stage in the labora tories of philosophers.

Download or read book Electric Traction Classic Reprint written by Robert Henry Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Traction One special feature the author hopes may be regarded as a merit namely this, that it deals not only with dynamic and constructional principles and details, but also with commercial results and economic conditions. The author holds strongly that technical students should direct their attention much more to this side of technics than is now usual. The physical side is only one half of engineering science; and no technical science will ever be rationally complete, nor will it ever win the full confidence and respect of the practical world, until it rests equally upon the two true bases of physical and economic law which together govern all industry. Since this book deals with European work alone, it is necessary to say that the author has always been among those who have insisted upon the great debt that Europe owes to America in regard to Electric Traction. Although Europe, and not America, is the native home of nearly all original ideas in this department of engineering, still it was in America that the world learnt all its important early practical lessons and gained the great bulk of its first practical experience. The reasons for confining the book to European practice have been twofold. The author labours under a constitutional inability to write about things he has not seen with his own eyes and examined for himself, while he has had very limited opportunity for more than cursory observation of trans-atlantic work. Then, again, the most recent and progressive developments of traction design are to be seen here, and not there. American electric-traction engineering has already become standardized and conservative: its European pupil is still eagerly striving after new and higher things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Power and Traction In common with practically every industry Electrical Engineering has become the centre of a wide and increasing circle of allied trades, of which probably the majority are connected in some way or another with its Power and Traction branches. To the members of such trades and callings, to whom some knowledge of applied Electrical Engineering is desirable if not strictly essential, this book is particularly intended to appeal. It may also be useful to the student as it covers with but small exception purely practical ground, and enters to some extent into those commercial considerations which in the long run must overrule all others. For obvious reasons it is impossible to incorporate in one volume the whole theory and practice of a subject so far reaching as Electric Power and Traction; it therefore becomes necessary at the outset to credit the reader with a certain amount of scientific and technical knowledge: to fix the standard, let us say, such as should naturally have been acquired by observation in the practice of an allied trade and by general reading in an age that is essentially electric.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Traction and Transmission Engineering The ultimate purpose of nearly all the professional efforts of an engineer is the attainment of efficiency in the utilization of labor, capital, and energy. To attain the highest efficiency in the construction and the subsequent operation of a complete installation requires a knowledge of the facts and a familiarity with the laws pertaining to these three factors. Decisions as to the selection of the type and the dimensions of an element, often attributed to the exercise of good judgment, are generally the specific results of the correct application of laws to all pertinent facts. The number of facts to be considered in determining the final elements of a complete electric traction system is enormous. As a consequence students and young engineers become bewildered and 'are unable to discriminate as to the pertinency or necessity of specific details. To meet this condition the present text has been prepared, it' being believed that no other single published book meets it.

Download or read book Electrical Traction Vol 2 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Ernest Wilson Francis Lydall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrical Traction, Vol. 2 of 2 IN CE the first edition of Electrical Traction was published in 1897, progress in this branch of electrical engineering has been extremely rapid, though not perhaps such as to satisfy its most ardent advocates. This advance has been so great that it has been found necessary, in preparing a second edition, practically to rewrite the entire book; in so doing, the extent of the ground to be covered has, in the authors' opinion, justified a considerable enlargement of the original volume. The present book has been arranged in two parts, the first of which deals with the application of direct current electricity to traction both for tramways and for railways, and the second of which is devoted to the Similar application of alternating currents. Although this forms a natural division of the subject, the installations in which direct current is employed are so much more numerous than those using alternating currents that the division is somewhat unequal. The authors have, however, preferred to adhere to this plan, rather than arrange the matter in a single volume or in two equal volumes, in the belief that in this way each volume, being practically self-contained and complete in itself, will be more acceptable to the engineering public. In dealing with the various systems of electrical traction the authors have avoided, as far as possible, any direct advocacy of one rather than another; but have endeavoured to point out impartially the advantages and disadvantages inherent in each system. There are comparatively few engineers in a position to make a decision of such importance, and since any such decision should be based upon the consideration of all the various aspects of the case, the authors have made it their aim to present all the available information as to the apparatus obtainable, its design, efficiency and reliability, in such a way as to facilitate the work of responsible engineers. The authors are fully conscious that the book is incomplete in many respects, and that any practical engineer who has specialised in one particular branch of electrical traction will be able to point out gaps and possibly inaccuracies in the chapters dealing with that branch. Few people, however, have a special knowledge of the whole range of traction, and it is hoped that those who have specialised may find some fresh information in those branches with which they are not so familiar. For advanced students, also, who may intend to take up this subject, the first volume, and later perhaps the second volume, may be found useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Electric Traction: For Motormen and Others Elements OF electric traction is based upon a short series of lectures and practical demonstrations which have been given by the Author during the last two years to a class of motormen and others at the Leeds Institute Technical School. During these lectures and the subsequent period the writer has had repeated inquiries for a suitable textbook, and while he has recommended from time to time books dealing with the Elements of Electrical Engineering, as well as Handbooks for Motormen, he has always found a need for a book dealing in a simple manner with the fundamental, mechanical, and electrical principles underlying electric traction. To fill this need this work has been written. The work is intended to serve as an introduction to the more advanced works on electric traction, and to supplement the informa tion given in the various Handbooks for Motormen and others.
