Practical Electronic Circuits for Industry

Abstract

THE compilers of this handbook have selected some four hundred and forty electronic circuits from published literature, mostly from Electronics, of which they are associate editors. For each circuit there has been compressed into an' average of little more than half a demi-quarto page a circuit diagram, including the values of all the important components, a general circuit description, and some discussion, which according to the type and complexity of the circuit may include the performance to be expected, points where special care or accuracy is needed or difficulties are likely to be encountered in making up the circuit, and suggested applications of the circuit. A reference to the article in which the circuit originally appeared is given. For ease of reference the circuits are grouped under twenty-two different chapter headings, each is cross-indexed many times in a subject index, and there are also page order and author indexes. The emphasis of the work is essentially on the practical side of industrial electronics, the chief purpose of the handbook being stated in the preface "to provide a busy engineer with a ready source of information about the circuits he needs for a particular industrial electronic application".
