✦ Synopsis
The use of high tension electric current of various types is increasing for both research as well as practical testing. This is so to the extent that developments along these lines have come to the point that the field is one of more or less specialized knowledge. The book at hand contains a resumfi of modern developments in the different methods of production and use of voltages of the order of several hundred thousand volts. Written in German, its .technical descriptions are quite complete with discussions on the electric field, insulation, and the various apparatus that go to make up high tension generating equipment and their function. There are also reviewed applications in power transmission, materials testing, radioactivity, etc. The measurement of high voltages, the production of R6ntgen and cathode rays, and utilization for physical investigations are covered.
The book is profusely illustrated with photographs, curves and figures. In the back there is a bibliography of 324 references and a comprehensive subiect index. For those who can read German this work will provide a convenient summary that gives the essentials in theory.
