"As there is no previously published information that contains all the whys and wherefores of electrical insulation under one cover, it is believe that this book will cover a long-felt need in this important field....NavShips 250-660-33 has been assigned to this book for reference purposes and identification" (from the printed notice on front pastedown). A very large number of companies who contributed to the details are noted by the author.

The book covers everything from Insulation Theory and Basic Concepts to Winding problems to Varnish-treating processes, testing, and maintenance. We notes asbestos is one of the insulation materials.

PUBLICATION NOTES:
One of two versions of this book which were printed - a trade edition and one for the US Navy. Both state "first edition" on the title page and were published by McGraw-Hill. We are unaware of any precedence or differences between the two versions.

US Navy copies can be distinguished by a printed notice on the front pastedown with information about the reason for the book and noting the book is the Property of the United States Government.
