Early Revision of the 1916 First Edition of Ralph R. Lawrence's Alternating Currents
Collection — Box: 1 [31151030134492]
Identifier: MS-0709
Copied from dealer description: Ralph R. Lawrence was an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Harvard
University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a member of the
American Institute of Electrical Engineers. His book, Principles of Alternating Current
Machinery, was first published in 1916 in New York by the McGraw-Hill Book
Company. The present volume appears to be an early revision of a portion of the fust
edition corrected by Jacob Young, who was likely a fellow teacher of Lawrence in the
Department of Electrical Engineering at MIT. The piece contains a hand-written titlepage
followed by 101 pages of text. Within the text are 51 tipped-in mimeograph
illustrations and myriad equations. Corrections and additions by Young are handwritten
throughout, with some pasted in. Following the 101 pages of text are 22 pages
of manuscript notes by Young entitled, "Solution of Circuits." A unique revision piece
with manuscript corrections and additions throughout, along with numerous illustrations
and extensive manuscript notes at rear.
