In this paper an attempt will be made to outline as concisely as possible a few of the developments in transforming devices that have taken place during the last year. Some of these we are perhaps already familiar with, while others may present new ideas or well known principles applied in new ways. At all events, it is hoped that a brief review of the work may prove of some interest. Naturally th... View full abstract»

Consequently we frequently find a wide divergence of opinion as to the results which may be expected under different conditions. In all types of plants the influence of investment upon the cost of power is one which is apt to be slighted in the estimates, and if not slighted ... View full abstract»
