Magnetic Amplifiers - Principles and Applications by Paul Mali (1960, 110-pages) published by John F. Rider Publisher, Inc. This course presents one fundamental topic at a time, taken up in the order of need, rendered absolutely understandable, and hammered home by the use of clear, cartoon-type illustrations. The illustrations are the most effective ever presented. Every page has at least one such illustration every page covers one complete idea! An imaginary instructor stands figuratively at the readers elbow, doing demonstrations that make it easier to understand each subject presented in the course.

PREFACE

This book was written because of a need to make available fundamental concepts of magnetic amplifiers. It is intended primarily for technical aides, electronic technicians, electrical draftsmen, electricians, and students, interested in a fundamental knowledge of the operation and applications of magnetic amplifiers. It also serves as a review for electrical engineers who have long been away from the electrical field. Engineers and designers are given a quick introduction to the language and circuits associated with magnetic amplifiers, before attempting the more intricate concepts and difficult circuits.

The basic principles and laws governing the operation and uses of magnetic amplifiers are presented along with application in diverse industrial systems. Extensive mathematics and detailed circuitry have been limited for a simpler and more fundamental presentation, to be easily assimilated.
