Abstract
(1) The smooth working of steam or hydraulic prime-movers directly coupled to dynamos is one of great importance to supply station engineers. In this work Prof. Barbillion, the director of the Technical Institute at Grenoble, gives us a thorough and well-reasoned discussion of the subject. Much of the discussion, we are afraid, is too mathematical to be properly understood by the ordinary English engineer, but to the specialist and the advanced student it will be interesting and instructive.
