Synopsis

Excerpt from Electric Lighting and Power Distribution, Vol. 2 of 2: An Elementary Manual of Electrical Engineering, Suitable for Students Preparing for the Preliminary and Ordinary Grade Examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute

Ai-ter much delay, for which the Author begs to tender his apologies, this Volume II. Is now laid before its future readers. The retardation has been due to various causes, but chiefly to the bringing out of other works which the writer felt impelled to finish first. One of these, The Alternating Current Circuit, new forms Chapter XI. In the present volume; though it will still continue to be published, with slight additions, as a separate book. Another, Electric Wiring, Fittings, Switches, and Lamps, which was originally intended eventually to form part of this Volume II., will, owing to the matter of bulk, have to remain a separate and supplementary volume.

In the early work on this book the Author received much kind assistance from Mr. Charles H. Yeaman; and, in its completion, very material help, in the way of revision and the initial preparation of the drawings, from Mr. Llew. R. Lester. Sincere thanks are tendered to both of these gentlemen.
