"The Russians have proved that in the field of electrical sogirnering
they are not behind other nations. but are ahead of them, and frequently show
them the way. These are the words of D. p Lachinov, outstanding representa-
tive of Russian electrical engineering thought at the end of.the 19th Century.
This book, dedicated to Lachinov; gives detailed biographical information, ma-
teria. concerning the engineering, scientific, and pedagogical and inventive
activity of this great electrical engineer, and active collaborator of the
journal Elektrichestvo and one of the leading worker, in the electrical engine-
ering division of the Russian Engineering Association.
D. A. Lachinov was a pupil of F Kh. Lents. Rl.s work in the field of
long-distance electric power transmission is of classic significance. Wxct in-
formation on the life and work of D. A. Lachinov is printed. in the book for
the first time.

Second edition of this book was reviewed in Elektriches_tvn. No 10,
1947, Present edition has been supplemented by brief i*-iforma_ion concerning
the history of the development of electrical material studies to Russte. and
the USSR, and following sections have been revised somewhat. electric insula-
ting lacquers, solvents, bitumens, cable filling compounds, preservation, of
wood, mica insulation, and winding conductors. However, it is to be regretted
that many criticisms made when reviewing second edition were not considered by
Gosenergoizdat when preparing third edition, evidently becu.ase most of the
pages were printed from matrixes.

The welding arc, which, physically speaking, Is a h_gh amperage dis-
charge at atmospheric pressure, was invented at the end of the last century by
the Russian engineers N. N. Benardos and N. G. Slavyanov. USSR occupies a
leading place in arc welding, not only for volume of production but also for
high technical level. Many Soviet scientists have worked. on electric welding
problems (V. P. Nikitin, Ye. 0. Paton, G. A. Nikolayev, V. P. Vologdin, K. K.
Khrenov, and others). Book systematically examines processes in the welding
arc and shows priority of USSR inventors and scientists in this field. Book
is intended for engineers and scientific, workers. Author has paid special at-
tention to results of experimental investigations which may find industrial ap-
plication. Describes physical principles of the arc discharge, investigates
action of magnetic fields on the welding arc, explains chemical reactions and
process of melting and transference of metal in the arc.. Special attention is
devoted to problems of underwater welding and cutting and ether types and forms
of welding arcs.
