B 31 - The Brown Boveri Review- BBC House Journal and Transformers- Part 2 Technical Papers on Transformer in BBC Review
1.0 Introduction
Even though The Brown Boveri Review was published in July 1914, I could access journal content indices only from 1922. The titles of transformer articles by BBC engineers can help one understand the articles' range and depth. Those interested in specific areas can access these old issues of Brown Boveri Review from libraries. I still hope Hitachi Energy (current owners of BBC Legacy)?will be interested in publishing these papers as a digital volume. It will be an advertisement bonanza apart from satisfying transformer engineers' thirst for the historical development of the product. There are Indian Publishers specializing in compiling such old, published articles into coffee table volumes at a meagre cost.

3 个月Sir very informative and useful data to be preserved by Power Engineers
Senior Expert Transformer Consultant at TRAFOIX
3 个月Love the style of this guy from the 1976 transformer special edition. No hi-vis or PPE in those days but clearly very skilled work on a complex winding. As P Ramachandran says very interesting articles. Unfortunately this is the only edition in my collection.
Freelance Consultant
3 个月Switzerland was and still a country with small population. How come BBC evolved into one of the biggest electrical giants without much domestic market? Any historical perspective? How they could get high caliber technical experts from such a small pool of local people? Your thoughts?

3 个月Interesting will surely put some time to read this legacy history. Maybe something interesting also for Miguel Oliva Giuseppe Luca Petrelli
