   Ney Contact Manual

The classic Ney Contact Manual is the perfect text for engineers who want a basic introduction to electrical and electronic contact design principles without an excessive emphasis on physics or complex mathematics. This "fundamentals" manual provides basic theory and hands-on design principles. Basic contact design discussed includes cantilever contacts, sliding contacts, potentiometers, and slip ring surfaces.
