A Dictionary of Electrical Words, Terms and Phrases

Edwin James Houston

4.9/5 (17625 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Dictionary of Electrical Words, Terms and Phrases The rapid growth of electrical science, and the almost daily addition to it of new words, terms and phrases, coined, as they too frequently are, in ignorance of those already existing, have led to the production of an electrical vocabulary that is already bewildering in its extent. This multiplicity of words is extremely discouraging to the student, and acts as a serious obstacle to a general dissemination of electrical knowledge, for the following reasons: 1. Because, in general, these new terms are not to be found even in the unabridged editions of dictionaries. 2. The books or magazines, in which they were first proposed, are either inaccessible to the ordinary reader, or, if accessible, are often written in phraseology unintelligible except to the expert. 3. The same terms are used by different writers in conflicting senses. 4. The same terms are used with entirely different meanings. 5. Nearly all the explanations in the technical dictionaries are extremely brief as regards the words, terms and phrases of the rapidly growing and comparatively new science of electricity.
