Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Covers the clear design of all types of power transmission systems, including the selection and design of components, sub and complete systems. Rather than concentrate on theory, each chapter addresses the practical procedure of a particular design area on its own, using accesible flow charts and diagrams.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
