SOVIET ROOKS ON ELECTRICITY EIECTRICAI ENGINEERING,
AND ELECTRIC POWER ENGINEERING PUBLISHED IN 1950
/omments on books in the following list are included in the original
1. "Electrical Engineering Handbook" (Elektrotechnicheskiy Spravochnik),
High-Voltage Electric Equipment for Stations, Substations and Transmission
Lines, edited by M. V. Kbomyakov, 3d edition, supplemented and reedited Gosen-
ergolzdat, 495 pp, 37 rubles.
The handbook is intended chiefly for personnel who operate high-voltage
equipment, such as stations, transformer substations, and overhead and cable
lines. A number of new tables are given and many others have been corrected
and supplemented by new data, Observations made as to the second edition in
1948 at the conferences of VNITOE (All.-Union Scientific and Technical Society
of Power Engineers) and the Technical Div?.sion of the Ministry of Electric Power
Stations were studied by the authors in preparing this edition. It is highly
probable that some tables in Chapters III, V. and X will need correction after
the imminent revision of the Regulations i.r Technical Operation of Electric
Power Stations and Networks. However, this does not make the handbook less
valuable for power engineers and technicter.= in the Soviet Union.
2. "Designing Electrical Machines" (iroyektirovaniye elektricheskikh
mashin), N. V. Vinogradov, F. A Goryainov and P. S. Sergeyev, edited by P. S.
Sergeye~r, Gosenergoizdat,591 pp, 21 rubles, 50 kopeks, authorized as a textbook
for electromechanical and technical school;.
3. "Electrical Precipitators" (Elektrofil'try), S. P. Zhebrovskiy, Gosen-
ergoizdat, 256 pp, 14 rubles.
In the last few years considerable success has been achl:.ved, espe-
cially in the Soviet Union, In purifying gases. The special institute founded
for this purpose -- NIIOGAZ LScientifi^ Rer-eerch Institute for Purification of
Gases?7 -- has accomplished valuable wof'k in a short time. The author, who has

had close contact with measures taken in electrical gas purification, has aimed
to create a textbook for engineers engaged in research on or in operation o-
special electrical precipitators. The first part of the book deals with te
h
theory of electric discharge in gases under atmospheric pressure, the theory of
dc corona, etc. The second part treats practical applications of corona dis-
charge. The construction of electrical precipitators is examined, as well as
their physical processes, power supplies, and the problems relating to the sep-
aration of suspended particles. The appendix gives formulas for basic calcula-
tions of electrical precipitators.
4. "Intro-tions for Putting Electric Power Lines Into Operation" (In-
struktsiya po priyemke v eksploatatsiyu liniy elektroperedachi), (provisional),
Ministry of Electric Power Stations, Technical Administration of Construction
and Assembly, Gosenergoizdat, 36 pp, gratis.
5. "Electronic and Ionic Converters" (Elektronnyye i ionnyye preobrazo-
vateli), Principles of Industrial Electronics. Part I. Electronic Engineering,
I. L. Kaganov, Gosenergoizdat, 664 pp, 22 rubles. Accepted as a textbook for
power and electrical engineering (higher educational) institutions and faculties.
6. "Radio Engineering Materials and Parts" (Radiotekhnicheskiye materialy
i detali), D. M. Kazarncvskiy, Leningrad Red Banner Military Aeronautical En-
gineering Academy (L)VVIA), 262 pp, 18 rubles.
The book is based on courses of lectures given by the author at the
LKVVIA and the Academy of Communications imeni Budennyy. It consists of 12
chapters and contains descriptions both of the various electrical engineering
materials (insulation materials, conductors, semiconductors and magnetic mete-
rials) employed in construction of modern electronic equipment, and of the most
widely used radio parts (capacitors, resistors, rectifiers, hf magnetic cores,
hf cables, etc.). It supplies basic information on the physics of dielectrics,
semiconductors, and ferromagnetics as well as some data on the production tech-
nology of radio equipment. A short chapter (IX) describes the manufacture of
particular units by the modern "printed" method. The appendices contain a num-
ber of tables of technical data on different materials which are +,seful for
comparative evaluations. There is a short list of books (26 titles) pertaining
to the study of electrical materiels.
7. "Planning of Electric Illuminati-:;n" (Proyektirovaniye elektricheskogo
osveshcheniya), G. M. Knorring, Gosenergoizdat, 416 pp, 23 rubles.
The book is intended for electrical engineers engaged in tke design
and operation of electric lighting equipment. It discusses general problems in
planning electrical illumination but dvcc not treat special branches of illumin-
ating engineering, such as calculation. .,f illuminating devices, the theory of
sight, color studies, light measurements, tc. On these subjects the author
refers readers to the works of L. D. V. V. Meshkov, P. M. Tikhod.eyev,
S. 0. Mayzel', S. V. Kravkov, A. A. Gen:hun, R. G. Boldyrev, etc. The text is
divided into 15 chapters on the following, subjects; lighting equipment and its
design; principles of illuminating engineering; sources of light; lighting de-
vices: most advantageous arrangement of lights; quality of lighting; systems and
types of illumination; calculation of luminous efficiency for point sources;
calculation by the point method using point sources; calculation of searchlight
illumination; calculation of Illumination from large light sources; power sup-
ply for lighting equipment; determination of condi'ctor cross sections; layout
of lighting networks; and a short survey of special factors encountered in
lighting some objects. There are 189 illustrations and an alphabetical index.
8. "Introduction to the Electronics of Superhigh Frequencies" (Vvedeniye
v elektroniku sverkhvysokith chastot), V. F. Kovalenko, Izd-vo "Sovetskoye ra-

is devoted largely to the applications of spark machining rand the equipment de-
veloped for it. Since it is in the nature of a summary, this book will be use-

especially manufacturers interested in possible employment of spark machining
to replace mechanic^l cutting in their branches of industry.
