Newnes – Practical Electrical Engineering – Antique Book

Found a book in Sunday Bazaar, seemed interesting at the moment so bought it, for Rs. 20 (Approx. 0.2USD).

Am not an Electrical Engineer nor a student of it [see update below] but some of the charts and datasheets still seem quite relevant so maybe they will be useful for someone, for now I am putting up the images of all the Blue Prints and the Datasheets which came with it, I will probably put on proper names etc so Google can better index those.

Some of the ones that I liked were: Power Factor Measurement, Power Factor Correction, Cable Voltage Drop, Alternating Current Formulae and the colour layout of Calderhall Nuclear Generating Station.

Update: Technically I am an Electrical Engineering student, but as Wikipedia says, Electronics Engineering is a sub-field of Electrical so I am more close with the electronics side of engineering and I like to call myself as Industrial Electronics Engineer (student for now) instead of Electrical.
