Excerpt from Design of 40 K. W. Inductor Generator: Thesis for Degree of Bachelor of Sciences in Electrical Engineering in the College of Engineering, University of IllinoisThis was chosen, primarily, I may say, on account of the exceptional Opportunity offered for the investigation of machines of this type in actual course of construction, ar fording thereby means of securing certain valuable data os samtisi in all alternating current design, the lack of which has so often handicapped us, as students, in similar problems.Secondarily, it may, perhaps, be said, that the design of an inductor alternator was selected in View of the fact that such a machine has not been altogether favored in the past, and the reason for this, if inherent in the machine itself, is worthy of consideration, especially so since at this time the inductor alternator seems to be pushing to the front for use in certain lines of work.Very good text books have been written embodying all the principles underlying the design of direct current machinery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
