Review: Handy book - Good and easty to read, Thank you. Review: Two things you must note before you order ... - The 2 things - 1 - It looks like it was written at least 50 years ago, so nothing about semiconductors, transistors etc. 2 - It uses American units - (foot, pounds, and secs) - rather than S.I. units - (metre, kilogram,sec). It appears to be an unrevised reprint of a 1960 era U.S. Navy instructional manual. Apart from that, the explanation of basic theory is thorough, logically presented and superbly illustrated. A/C theory is illustrated by vector drawings (rather than using complex numbers), which I found helpful from a conceptual point of view. The last few chapters cover generators and motors, in detail. Wherever relevant, practical information and tips are provided. All in all, a very good basic primer, and should you have a 60 year old battleship to refurbish, this book could be really helpful.
