Sever, George Francis, and Townsend, Fitzhugh. Laboratory and factory tests in electrical engineering. [*]$2.50. Van Nostrand.
“The range of the book and its adaptability to its intended use as a manual for laboratory and factory testing may be best judged from a brief summary of the contents. The first chapter deals with resistance tests, temperature coefficient, etc. Dynamo and motor operation (direct current) is the subject of the next four chapters. Then alternating currents are taken up in ten chapters.... In the closing chapter ... electrical measurements of physical nature are taken up, such as permeability and hysteresis measurements, potentiometer, test, calibration of commercial instruments, etc. This chapter also includes some storage-battery tests and incandescent-lamp tests.”—Engin.
