Practical Electric Railway Handbook by Albert Herrick 1901 Street RY
Practical Electric Railway Handbook by Albert Herrick 1901 407 Pages COVER has damage /covering is partially off.
Every Street Railway Engineer requires data pertaining to his particular line of business, consisting of engineering facts, figure, and dimensions. The author's present attempt is to collect together under one cover all such data as is directly applicable in the construction, testing or operation of electric railway systems, showing such appliances, structures and methods as have been adopted in practice by street railways in the United States. The author has made free use of all sources of technical information, especially the technical press and the works of leading writers, credit being given in every case.
No effort has been spared to make the work as free from errors as possible. The use of mathematics and formulas has been limited as far as possible so as to make the book useful to the great majority of practical workers, and to bring it down to as condensed a volume as possible. Many topics had to be reduced to their simplest terms, omitting data which would be of scientific interest to the expert.
The matter has been largely selected from data collected and compiled during the past twenty years by the author, which he has found useful in his engineering work, it being abridged and brought up-to-date.
It is the object of the author to make this handbook of value to engineers, operators and employees of street railways ; and any corrections or new data and suggestions, which will assist him in improving and make further editions more valuable to co-laborers in this field, will be gratefully received.
