LABORATORY COURSES.
950-951-952. Direct Current Laboratory. [Wingfield.]
4 hours a week.
This course supplements 900-1. The laboratory work is devoted to a study
of electrical instruments, their use and manipulation; simple electrical circuits and
study of direct current apparatus and its operation; characteristics of generators
and motors. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
953-954-965. Alternating Current Laboratory. [Rodman.]
4 hours a week.
This course supplements 902-3-4-15, dealing with measuring instruments for
alternating current circuits; series and parallel circuits and their characteristics;
polyphase circuits, balanced and unbalanced; and alternating current generator,
motor and transformer characteristics. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
956. Photometric Laboratory. [Rodman.]
2 hours a week.
This course accompanies 906. Photometric tests are made upon different
types of incandescent lamps. The operating characteristics of incandescent and
arc lamps are studied. Tests of illumination, interior and exterior, are carried
out. Study of photometric standards and devices. (Fall.)
959. Electrical Laboratory. [Hoxton and Ball.]
2-5, Th.
This course deals particularly with the more precise electrical measurements
and the manipulation of instruments of precision used in the higher grade of
electrical testing and standardization. (Spring.)
960-961-962. Electrical Laboratory. [Wingfield.]
4 hours a week.
This course supplements 910-11-12. The work of the first term is devoted to
direct current tests; the second term exercises are on alternating current circuits
and machines; the course in the third term is largely concerned with calculations
and drawings for typical industrial equipments of electrical machines and controls.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)
The University of Virginia branch of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers holds regular meetings for the discussion of periodical literature and
the exposition by resident and visiting engineers of present-day problems in Electrical
Engineering.
