Electric Railways Theoretically and Practically Treated by Ashe & Keiley 1905
Electric Railways Theoretically and Practically Treated by Sydney W. Ashe, B.S. and J. D. Keiley Published 1905 285 pages. Hard Cover. Some fold out pages.
PREFACE.
THE absence of a modern text-book on electric rail ways embodying the recent developments in electric traction has led the authors to prepare this volume. Their aim has been to treat the subject from a theoretical as well as from a practical standpoint, so as to produce a book which could be used as a text in Technical Institutions as well as a general engineering reference book for those interested in railway problems. With this object in view, the use of calculus has been avoided, the differential coefficient being employed but occasionally. Where calculus methods appear, the same formulae are expressed in addition in algebraic form.
Realizing the extent of the traction field and the great demand for information concerning rolling stock, the volume has been restricted to that part of the subject.
