Crocker Francis B., Arendt Morton. Electric Motors

Second Edition - Revised and Enlarged. — New York: D. Van Nostrand Company, 1914. — 303 p.The design and construction of electrical apparatus are well covered by existing literature, the books on such subjects being very numerous, and many of them are comprehensive as well as authoritative. On the other hand, the operation of electrical machinery has received comparatively little attention. This latter fact is anomalous when we consider that there are undoubtedly several himdred users for every designer or constructor of such apparatus, because each builder supplies a large number of customers. Hence the authors have endeavored to supply information that may be useful to those who operate or are interested in the operation of electric motors. Included among these are electrical engineers who install or run electric power plants, managers of manufacturing or other establishments in which electric- drive is employed, as well as students and others who desire to acquaint themselves with the working of various kinds of electric motors and their application to useful purposes.
