TEXTBOOK OF SERVOMECHANISMS

by John C. West

Published by English Universities Press. 1955

Almost very good condition. New impression. The subject of this book is a new science which began in the early nineteen-thirties. Since the end of the last war the theory of servomechanisms has continued to advance, and on the practical side many systems have been constructed for civilian and industrial use. The subject has become important to a large number of people in diverse fields of engineering, consequently many Universities have introduced it into the engineering curriculum at the undergraduate level. Pale green cloth, red title to spine. B/w diagrams. 238 pages including index.

Top & tail of spine split to either side with slight loss at top of spine. Corners lightly worn. Inscription in ink to front pastedown. Contents clean.
