Excerpt from A Text-Book on Applied Mechanics, Vol. 2: Specially Arranged for the Use of Science and Art, City and Guilds of London Institute, and Other Engineering Students

The rapidity with which Engineering Science and Practice progress, necessitates constant vigilance on the part of the Author who aims at keeping a text-book on Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering abreast of the fast-moving times. In the many important additions to these new Editions, I have endeavoured to select useful practical examples of certain leading principles of Mechanics, as well as of the construction and action of machines which have come to the front since this book was written. I have, therefore, illustrated and described certain prominent applications of electrical machines to the driving of tools and cranes, and compared their results with what was, and still is, common practice. For, all engineers should be familiar with Electrical Transmission of Power and the circumstances under which it can be applied to the best advantage.
