Synopsis
Excerpt from Development and Electrical Distribution of Water Power
With but few exceptions, no basic principles of electricity are set forth nor are the derivations given of the formulae used.
With the many excellent works on hydraulics and electricity now published, it is needless to reproduce their contents here. It is with the relationships between the available power, methods of development, the machinery and apparatus employed, and the final use to which the energy will be put, that this book is con cerned. It is to be noted that the use of mathematics has been studiously avoided and the text may be followed understandingly by any one having an elementary knowledge of algebra.
