Excerpt from Electric Traction: A Practical Handbook on the Application of Electricity as a Locomotive Power
IN this book the Author has endeavoured to deal with the subject of Electric Traction from a practical standpoint, and mathematics have only been introduced where neces sary, and then only in a very simple form. Detailed descriptions of various traction undertakings have not been given, as what is good practice in one case is not necessarily so in another.
