2. Electrical Laboratory.—This course is essentially a course of laboratory work, but lectures may be given or text-book work assigned, as is thought best. It includes the measurement of high resistances, cable and line testing, measurements of capacity, the standarizing of ammeters and voltmeters, and electrometer work. The work of the course is taken up with special reference to accuracy and methods of precision. Fall term, full study. Mr. KUEHMSTED. Required: Physics, i; Electrical Engineering, i. 3. Electro-Magnetism and Dynamo-Electric Machinery.—(a) Lectures and text-book work. The theory, design, and classification of dynamo-electric machines and motors is considered, together with the efficiency and methods of governing constant current and constant potential machines. (i) Electrical designing and draughting, supplementing the theoretical work under (a). Winter term, full study. Mr KUEHMSTED. Required: Electrical Engineering, 1, 2. 4. Dynamo Laboratory—Experimental study of dynamo electric machinery, determination of characteristics and other curves, regulation, etc. Winter term, full study. Assistant Professor SHEA and Mr.

KUEHMSTED.

Required: Electrical Engineering, 1, 2. 5. Alternating Currents and Machines.—{a) Lectures and text-book work upon the generation and application of alternating currents, the theory of converters, and the effect of the alternating current. (6) Laboratory practice, consisting of the measurement of the alternating current and testing of alternating current machines. Spring term, full study. Mr. KUEHMSTED. Required: Physics, 1; Electrical Engineering, 1, 2, 3, 4. 6. The Installation of Light and Power Plants.—(a) Electric Lighting. This includes the methods o£ wiring for arc and incandescent lighting, wiring, rules and regulations, and estimates on the cost of plants. (b) Electrical Distribution of Power. The distribution of power is taken up with the especial regard to the electric railway, including estimates. Lectures and Notes. Spring term, half study. Mr.

KUEHMSTED.

Required: Electrical Engineering, 1, 3, 4. 7. Photometry.—Lectures and Laboratory Work. This includes the problems of photometry, as found in connection with arc and
