Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Due to new developments in control engineering, the author has expanded his previous work - Control System Technology - into two new volumes, this being the first. It contains new information on transducers, process control systems, servomechanics, signal conditioning and data conversion.
Bibliography: p. 343-352 - Includes index.
