Genealogy of the Kennan Family

by Thomas Lathrop Kennan

1907

"James Kennan (or Mac Kennan as he wrote his name), appears to have been the American ancestor of the Northern Branch of the Kennan family. Little is known of him, except that he married at Rutland, Mass., May 25, 1744, Margaret Smith of the town of Holden. The Kennons were all of Scotch descent ..." p. 11. "James McKennan resided many years on his farm in Rutland ... Some of his direct descendants are still liviing in that vicinity."--Page 17. Descendants and relatives lived in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, New Jersey, Wisconsin, California, Michigan, Ohio, Connecticut and elsewhere.

Introduction to Modern Analysis of Electric Machines and Drives

2022 · John Wiley & Sons

Introduction to Modern Analysis of Electric Machines and Drives Comprehensive resource introducing magnetic circuits and rotating electric machinery, including models and discussions of control techniques Introduction to Modern Analysis of Electric Machines and Drives is written for the junior or senior student in Electrical Engineering and covers the essential topic of machine analysis for those interested in power systems or drives engineering. The analysis contained in the text is based on Tesla’s rotating magnetic field and reference frame theory, which comes from Tesla’s work and is presented for the first time in an easy to understand format for the typical student. Since the stators of synchronous and induction machines are the same for analysis purposes, they are analyzed just once. Only the rotors are different and therefore analyzed separately. This approach makes it possible to cover the analysis efficiently and concisely without repeating derivations. In fact, the synchronous generator equations are obtained from the equivalent circuit, which is obtained from work in other chapters without any derivation of equations, which differentiates Introduction to Modern Analysis of Electric Machines and Drives from all other textbooks in this area. Topics explored by the two highly qualified authors in Introduction to Modern Analysis of Electric Machines and Drives include: Common analysis tools, covering steady-state phasor calculations, stationary magnetically linear systems, winding configurations, and two- and three-phase stators Analysis of the symmetrical stator, covering the change of variables in two- and three-phase transformations and more Symmetrical induction machines, covering symmetrical two-pole two-phase rotor windings, electromagnetic force and torque, and p-pole machines Direct current machines and drives, covering commutation, voltage and torque equations, permanent-magnet DC machines, and DC drives Introduction to Modern Analysis of Electric Machines and Drives is appropriate as either a first or second course in the power and drives area. Once the reader has covered the material in this book, they will have a sufficient background to start advanced study in the power systems or drives areas.

Tom Taylor's Civil War

by Thomas Thomson Taylor, Albert Castel, Margaret Antoinette White Taylor

2000 · Modern War Studies

Thomas Taylor was a junior officer who fought under Sherman at Vicksburg and Chattanooga and on the march through Georgia. Piecing together vivid descriptions of the various skirmishes from his diaries and letters, Castel has created a work on the Civil War as engrossing as any novel. 15 photos. 4 maps.
