Abstracts of books on topics of interest

This convenient (a little larger than pocket-size) book is essentially a handbook describing briefly sources of interference and methods of controlling such sources primarily through the techniques of suppression and shielding. Included, however, are general discussions of radio noise and interference, methods of conducting interference investigations and of making quantitative measurements, and the principles of suppression. There are also detailed chapters dealing with the origin and specific methods of suppression of noise on power and distribution lines, high-voltage equipment, electric railway systems, wire communication systems, commutator motors and generators, thermostats, fluorescent lights, sign flashers, oil burning furnaces, electrostatic discharge, small generating plants, industrial, scientific and medical apparatus, arc welding equipment, elevators, and vehicles. The concluding chapters discuss interference in ships and in aircraft, and also radio interference standards in legislation.
