Excerpt from Elements of Electricity for Technical Students The book then is especially adapted for use in the short, practical courses given in Trade, Industrial, and Technical High Schools and Apprenticeship courses, but also affords a substantial ground-work for the more advanced work in Electrical theory and practice in colleges and universities. In conclusion, the author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to Mr. Joseph M. Jameson, Head of the Depart ment of Physics, and to Mr. Arthur L. Williston, formerly Director of the School of Science and Technology, Pratt Institute, for their assistance and constant encouragement in developing an Elementary Electrical course as here outlined. Grateful acknowledgment is also extended to my colleagues, Mr. John A. Randall and Mr. Warren L. Harlow for many valuable criticisms and suggestions. W. H. Timbie.
