Abstract

(1) THIS is the second edition of Dr. Loewenstein's authorised translation of the second edition of Dr. Stodola's well-known treatise. The first edition of the translation was recently fully reviewed in these columns. The only change in the present edition is the incorporation of a supplement, prepared by the translator, giving the derivation, step by step, of the difficult formulæ in Dr. Stodola's treatise; this supplement will be very acceptable to advanced students in our engineering schools. It is a striking proof of the high estimation in which this text-book is held in the English-speaking world that a second edition of the translation should so soon have been called for.
