  First published in 1937, this book has been a bestseller for over 50 years. The chief function of an engineers' pocket book is the presentation in convenient form of facts, tables, and formulae relating to the particular branch of engineering dealt with. In the case of electrical engineering, it is essential that the engineer should have a clear understanding of the methods by which the various formulae are derived in order that he can be certain that any particular formulae is applicable to the conditions which he is considering. This applies with particular force in the case of alternating current work. The first section, therefore, is devoted to the theoretical groundwork upon which all the practical applications are based and covers symbols, fundamentals, electrostatics, and magnetism. The new Regulations are arranged in accordance with the IEC Publication 364 Electrical Installations of Buildings .
