Excerpt from Electric Ship Propulsion

It is assumed that the readers of this volume will have an elementary knowledge of the theory of steam turbines, electric generators, induction motors, etc.; it would not be possible to treat all these subjects adequately in a book of this kind. An attempt has been made to cover as thoroughly as possible the special points that arise in connection with the propulsion of ships by electricity and to compare this method with others that are already in use or projected. Where use is made of apparatus that has not previously been thoroughly described in existing text-books, a full description of it is given.

The author wishes to thank Messrs. Maxwell Day, E. F. W. Alexanderson, A. H. Mittag, W. C. Watson and Eskil Berg of the General Electric Company, Messrs. W. Sykes, W. E. Thau and M. Cornelius of the Westinghouse Company and Commander J. S. Evans, U. S. N., of the Navy Department for their assistance in the preparation of this book; also Marine Engineering and Shipping Age for the use of an article by Renwick Z. Dickie in the March, 1920, issue on "Diesel Electric Propulsion"; also the American Institute of Electrical Engineers for the use of an article by George B. Pulham in the January, 1920, issue of the Journal on the Wulsty Castle; also the American Society of Naval Engineers for the use of an article by Lieutenant W. R. Carter in the August, 1916, issue of the Journal on "The Ljungstrom Turbine."
