Synopsis

Master the fundamentals of electrical engineering with a classic lecture series.

This volume presents a comprehensive look at the principles and applications of direct and alternating current apparatus, drawn from a course of lectures at the Bliss Electrical School. It combines theory with practical insights from an early 20th‑century reference, guiding readers through core concepts and designs.

This edition covers foundational topics such as static electricity, magnetism, electro-magnetism, and interior wiring, then moves into the generation and use of direct current machines. It blends theoretical explanations with practical illustrations of components, regulation methods, and the operation of generators and motors, providing a solid base for students and professionals alike. The material aims to connect basic science with real engineering practice, using era‑appropriate examples and terminology.

• Clear explanations of electrical fundamentals and how they apply to machines and circuits
• Practical discussions of generators, motors, regulators, and testing
• Historical context that links theory to real‑world electrical engineering work

Ideal for readers of early electrical engineering texts, students building a foundation in DC and AC theory, and professionals seeking a historical reference on the principles and applications of electrical apparatus.
