Chapter I instrumentation and measurements

A new book, Electrical Measurement Analysis, by Frank¹ appeared this year which covered basic ac and dc measurement techniques in a clear and logical manner. It would appear to be a good book around which to build an undergraduate course in electrical measurements but offers little new material for a reference shelf. Stout´s² Basic Electrical Measurements, which covered the same material a little more thoroughly, came out in a second Edition. Among the new material was a discussion of calculable capacitance standards and an expanded section on transformer bridges. Churchman and Ratoosh³ edited an interesting book on the science of measurement entitled Measurement: Definitions and Theories. This book was based on the papers presented at an AAAS symposium on measurements.
