Excerpt from Modern Turbine Practice and Water-Power Plants The present European practice has only been evolved during the last ten years and is yet in a transition state, so that changes and improvements are continually being made. The American standard type of turbines has not been shown in the illustrations, as every hydraulic-power engineer is sufficiently familiar with it through the engineering press and the turbine catalogs. On account of the growing importance of the steam-turbine and its close relation to the hydraulic turbine, the writer has included a chapter on this subject. . In the second part of this book will be found information and data about matters connected with turbine plants. These were either taken from the writer's personal experience or collected from recent volumes of the American and European engineering press. Of course there are instances where the refinement in turbine design and construction here recommended does not pay, being either unnecessary or impracticable. For example, the backwoods sawmill, moving with the pioneer settler into newly opened territory, will do best with the roughest kind of a turbine plant. The opinion of engineers in regard to many statements made in this book may vary- from that of the writer, and no hard and fast rules can be laid down for water-power developments, as every case demands a careful and intelligent judgment, requiring greater experience on the part of the planning engineer than most other classes of construction work. At the end of this book will be found Mr. Allan V. Garrett's paper on speed regulation of turbines, and the writer begs to thank here Mr. Garrett and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers for their kind permission to reprint this paper.

The introduction of new 500 MW and 660 MW turbine generator plant in nuclear, coal- and oil-fired power stations has been partly responsible for the increase in generating capacity of the CEGB over the last 30 years. This volume provides a detailed account of experience gained in the development, design, manufacture, operation and testing of large turbine-generators in the last 20 years. With the advance in analytical and computational techniques, the application of this experience to future design and operation of large turbine-generator plant will be of great value to engineers in the industry.

Excerpt from Steam-Turbine Principles and Practice Steam-turbine principles and practice has been pre pared, for the practical man, to furnish this information. It has been written to provide the operating engineer, the plant superintendent, or manager with such steam-turbine information as he requires in his everyday work. The aim has been to treat only topics of two general classes: (1) Those with which a man must be familiar to insure the successful and economical Operation of steam turbines. (2) Those a knowledge of which is necessary to enable a man - one who is not familiar with the details of its design or theory - to make a wise choice if he contemplates the purchase of a turbine. Only sufficient theory is given to insure a sound understanding of the principles Of turbine operation. The design of turbines is not treated at all. A working knowledge Of arithmetic will enable one to read the book intelligently. Drawings for nearly all Of the 282 illustrations were made especially for this work. It has been the endeavor to so design and render these pictures that they will convey the desired information with a minimum Of supplementary discussion.
