Excerpt from Electrical Engineering Measuring Instruments for Commercial and Laboratory
Since the electrical engineering industry began to Show signs of rapid development, numerous types and forms of measuring instruments have been devised by different inventors. Many of these are now obsolete, having given place to instruments with greater refinements and on better principles. Though several of these obsolete types are extremely interesting, and, indeed, instructive, they have not been described in the present work. If information regarding them is required, it will be found in the abridged patent specifications since about 1880. Only those instruments in actual and extensive use at the present day are here considered, and these form so large a body that it seems better not to try to deal with the historical portion of the subject.

Excerpt from Electrical Engineering Measuring Instruments for Commercial and Laboratory
While much has been written in connection with almost every section or branch of electrical engineering, including dynamos, motors, transformers, cells, and appliances of almost every description, the branch dealing with the subject of measuring instruments used in electrical engineering has received little or no attention from the literary section of the electrical community.
The fact that, without these measuring instruments, the appliances just enumerated could never have been evolved, or, being evolved, could never have been successfully utilized, constitutes, therefore, a sufficient reason for bringing the present work before the public.

I have divided the subject into chapters, each treating of different types or makes of instruments working on the same principle, and I have endeavoured to describe and illustrate each instrument as clearly and simply as possible.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of electrical measuring instruments, a subject that has received surprisingly little attention in the field of electrical engineering despite its crucial role in the industry's development. The author delves into the historical context of these instruments, tracing their evolution from crude early forms to the sophisticated devices that underpinned the rise of dynamos, motors, and other essential electrical technologies. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the different types of measuring instruments, organized according to the physical principles they employ. The author explores electro-magnetic, electro-static, thermal, and chemical instruments, as well as their variations, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each. He also examines the sources of error inherent in these instruments and offers practical strategies for minimizing them. The author's discussion extends beyond the technical aspects of instrument construction and function, delving into the theoretical concepts underpinning their operation. He examines the nature of electric currents, the significance of controlling forces in instrument design, and the importance of magnetic shielding in minimizing external interference. The book ultimately reveals the essential role electrical measuring instruments have played in the advancement of electrical engineering, providing a detailed and insightful account of their development and function. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
