901. Direct Current Machines. [Rodman.]

9-10, Th. F. S.

Lectures on the theory, construction, characteristics, and operation
of Direct Current Generators and Motors and the accessory apparatus
required for the proper management and control of these machines. The
principles of testing such machines are carefully discussed. A brief treatment
of the theory, construction, and operation of Storage Batteries and
auxiliary devices concludes the term. 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. (Winter.)
