901. Direct Current Machines. [Rodman.]

11:30-12:30, M. W. F.

Lectures on the theory, construction, characteristics, and operation of
direct current generators and motors and the necessary apparatus required
for the proper management and control of these machines. The principles
of testing such machines are carefully discussed. Problems illustrating the
methods of calculation involved in continuous current circuits and practical
examples from standard engineering practice form an important part of the
work. 3 hours per week of supervised problem work. (Winter.)
