“The book consists of a series of statements explaining the way in which a dynamo should be considered as a successful machine or the reverse, and of a short account of several methods whereby the designer may himself estimate the first cost. After preliminary chapters on what may be called the practical theory of the continuous current dynamo, Mr. Hobart deals at length with those considerations which form the limits in the design, namely, heating, sparking, and efficiency.... The book contains a large number of tables in which the various calculations are set out.”—Nature.
“The present book is a model of its class and it is especially adapted to the use of students or others who desire a working knowledge of design practice. The mechanical features of the book are excellent.” Henry H. Norris.

“The value of the book lies in the essential soundness of this framework, more particularly of the fundamental ideas on which it is itself based than on the framework itself.”
