In the past a large number of M.G. sports and touring cars were used by United Kingdom police forces as patrol cars. This book sets out to both give full details of the cars used, compiled from surviving police, company and club records, and in their own words tell the story of the men and women who drove them. The first edition of the book was published in 1999 and is long out of print. This second, revised edition includes some pictures that were not used previously

This title deals with such topics as: Crystal structure; X-ray diffraction and reciprocal lattice; Bonding in solids; Lattice vibrations; Free electron theory of metals; Band theory of solids; Semiconductors; Magnetism in solids; Dielectric properties of solids; Superconductivity; Junction diodes; Rectifiers; Transistors and amplifiers; Oscillators; Modulation and demodulation; Cathode ray oscilloscope; Radio communication and television; Logic gates; Appendix 1: Voltage and current sources; Appendix II: Thevenin's and Norton's theorems; Appendix III: Table of physical constants and conversion factors index; and, References Index.

The chapter and topics, covered in this book, are expected to encompass the syllabus that may be needed by various colleges/ institutions in maintenance field. It also serves as a reference book for students of all other engineering disciplines in universities, colleges, institutions and also vast numbers of engineer, managers superviors, technologists and other persons working in or associated with maintenance and upkeep of machines, equipments and systems in any shop, plant or industry.

This Book Offeres On Introductory Survey Of The Conceptual Development Of The Subject. It Provides A Simple And Lucid Presentations Of The Essential Principles, Formulae And Definitions Of Digital Communications. At The End Of The Book Index And Two Appendices On Common Acronyms On Abbreviations And Second On Guide To Symbols And Notation Are Also Included.

The initial chapters discuss the linear and nonlinear algebraic equations. The ensuing chapters cover the problems in chemical engineering thermodynamics as well as initial value problems, boundary value problems and convection diffusion problems. Topics related to chemical reaction, dispersion and diffusion as well as steady and transient heat conduction are treated in the final chapters. The book covers a large number of numerical methods including tridiagonal matrix algorithm (TDMA) method, Newton s method, Runge Kutta fourth-order method, Upwind Difference Scheme (UDS) method and Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method. Strong emphasis is given on applications and uses of numerical analysis specifically required at the undergraduate level. The book contains numerous worked-out examples and chapter-end exercises. The answers to all chapter-end exercises are provided. The Appendix contains a total of 33 programs in C++ related to the various numerical methods explained in the book
