This book takes a somewhat different tack; it deals largely with transformers more relevant to electronic technology, control techniques, instrumentation, and to unusual implementations of transformers and transformer-like devices. In sodoing, the author feels that the highest usefulness will ensue from emphasis on the practical aspects of such transformers and their unique applications. For, if properly done, those readers wishing to probe further will have been guided along appropriate paths to extended investigation. The underlying objective is to stimulate the creativity of engineers, hobbyists, experimenters and inventors, rather than to provide a conventional classroom-like text. It is to be hoped that a readable and interesting exposition of the topic will help dispel much of the prevalent notion that transformers are mundane devices of a mature technology with little prospect of further evolutionary progress. To this end, it should be easy to show that the traditional treatment of transformers,
althogh providing a solid academic-foundation, tends to confine the modern practitioner to a bygone era.
