From the Preface:

"... Inclusion of more than 900 illustrative drawings should make it particularly valuable as a direct working guide not only to the student, but to the repair technician at the bench as well.

Because the-troubleshooter and repair technician must learn to do satisfactory work in the shortest possible time, we have tried to point out the best and quickest methods for testing and repairing. The heading Troubleshooting and Repair at the end of each chapter should be especially helpful.

Both alternating and direct current motors are treated thoroughly, and extensive consideration is given to the connections and troubles in controllers. ..."
