Excerpt from Small Accumulators, How Made and Used: An Elementary Handbook for the Use of Amateurs and Students The subject of small accumulators has been selected for treatment in this, the first of a series of popular scientific hand-books for students and engineers, by reason of the large number of requests for advice which have reached me in my capacity as editor of The Model Engineer and Amateur Electrician. Although some of the information herein con tained has already appeared in the pages of that journal, I believe that the connected and amplified form in which this is now presented will. Make it of greater utility and more con venient for reference. Sufficient matter has been added to make the book cover the ground indicated by its title as fully as is possible, but the limited space available precludes any pre tence to exhaustive treatment of the subject. I venture to hope, however, that this little vol ume will be found a practical and trustworthy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
