Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1901, Vol. 17
Mr. rmxmmz - I may say in this respect that not everything is published immediately after it is found out, but sometimes very many years after, even more than seven years. The first proof that the distorted wave gave the lesser hysteresis in the transformer was found by the wattmeter about ten years ago, before the laws of hysteresis were discovered. At the time it was not understood. Afterwards I hunted up the old tests and found the first experiment regarding the effect of the wave distortion or rather the effect of different types of alternators made by watt meter reading, dating back before the time of my studies of the hysteresis law.
