A rare working library for the serious electrical engineer — five McGraw-Hill technical volumes published between 1913 and 1921, covering the full spectrum of industrial electrical practice: machine connection, motor repair, armature winding, machinery operation, and wiring diagrams.

These are not decorative shelf fillers. 

They are the real thing — first editions, multiple impressions, built for the men who ran the motors and rewound the coils in America's industrial plants.

The Set Includes

  1. Electrical Machinery: A Practical Study Course on Installation, Operation and Maintenance — F. A. Annett. McGraw-Hill, 1921. First Edition, Ninth Impression. 431 pages.
  2. Armature Winding and Motor Repair — Daniel H. Braymer. McGraw-Hill, 1920. First Edition, Fourteenth Impression. 515 pages.
  3. Wiring Diagrams of Electrical Apparatus and Installations — McGraw-Hill, 1913. First Edition, Fifteenth Impression. 253 pages.
  4. Connecting DC Machines — 237 pages.
  5. Connecting Induction Motors — 361 pages.

Collector's Notes

McGraw-Hill's early technical series were the gold standard for working electricians and plant engineers in the 1910s and 1920s. The fact that Armature Winding reached its fourteenth impression and Wiring Diagrams its fifteenth speaks to how heavily these volumes were relied upon in the field.
