Field theory, as contradistinct to circuit theory, is shown in this article to become increasingly important in a large number of engineering problems. In addition to the more familiar electric and magnetic fields there are temperature, mechanical stress, hydraulic flow, and other field concepts all reducible to the same mathematical basis. An outline of some of the methods employed in dealing wit... View full abstract»

| | PDF (801 KB)

Two types of students, one fundamentaly interested only in engineering, and the other more deeply interested in and capable of leadership, are considered in this paper. For both, a broader training in the humanities is urged. Among the numerous points which it is stated should be brought to the attention of the student engineer is the necessity of realizing that human relatoniships, which cannot b... View full abstract»

• ### Coaxial Communication Transmission Lines

| | PDF (500 KB)

A nonmathematical discussion of the mechanism whereby energy may be transmitted over long distances at high frequencies by the use of coaxial conductors'' is presented in this paper. A coaxial system consists of a cylindrical conducting tube within which a smaller conductor is coaxially placed. Such conductors, which reduce interference and cross-talk are applicable for the transmission of telep... View full abstract»

• ### Control of Transients in Welding Generators

Publication Year: 1934, Page(s):1598 - 1602
| | PDF (2167 KB)

The fundamentals of d-c arc welding generators are reviewed in this paper, and the effect of transient current and voltages upon performance is described. It is then shown how the transients may be controlled by internal arrangements which reduce the induced voltages in the stator circuit and at the same time increase the series reactance of both the field and armature circuits. A new welding gene... View full abstract»
