Re: [TCML] "Transformers at Pittsfield" book by Thomas Blalock is now On-line!

Alright, so a whole bunch of you have expressed interest in this pdf, but apparently the file is too large to email. So I have uploaded it to a file sharing site (maybe) and in the process I figure I might as well share it with everyone. 

so, 
apparently you follow this link 
http://www.filesavr.com/3HLNRFY0MAH9JNC 
and click download... 
we will see if this actually works 

let me know if anyone has issues 


Basically what I did was to copy the info from the side into Microsoft onenote and then after many adjustments to make sure pictures were not cut in half etc exported it as a pdf. If anyone finds a picture that I missed let me know so I can fix it. 


Thanks,

All, 

I had been searching for Thomas Blalock's book about the history of GE's 
power transformer manufacturing and testing facility for many years. 
Unfortunately, only 200 copies were ever published, and it has been 
virtually impossible to locate a copy. This is a 300+ page treasure 
trove of information, chock full of historic photos, covering the 80 
year history of power transformer manufacturing and testing in 
Pittsfield, MA. 

I just discovered that the entire book is now available online at the 
IEEE Global History Network web site in three parts. You do not need to 
be an IEEE member to read the book. All three parts also contain loads 
of historic photos. Part 2 is devoted entirely to the High Voltage 
Testing Lab, and contains lots of information and pictures about their 
cascade transformers, impulse generators, high current capacitor 
discharge lab, the 1939 World's Fair setup, and transformer testing. The 
three parts can be found here:

Happy reading!
