Excerpt from Electricity in Coal Mining Many good engineering handbooks are to be found dealing with the details of electrical construction and the installation of mining machinery but the writer feels that there maybe a demand for a small treatise covering, in a general way, the many phases of electrical engineering as applied to coal mining. Such a book would probably be of use to the investor or the operator in outlining methods of procedure and to the operating engineer in tracing the foundations upon which an electrical power plant may be established and operated in the most efficient manner. In securing data upon which some of the machinery is described and for many of the photographs from which cuts have been made the writer wishes to acknowledge the help of the General Electric Co., Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co., Goodman Manufacturing Co., Jeffrey Machine Co., and other manufacturers who have assisted in the work. The writer also wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the Editors of Coal Age for manuscript corrections and to the McGraw-Hill Book Co. Inc., for the able manner in which the work of publishing has been carried out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
