PAPER COVERS. Cover is considerably lighter than posterboard. "The Australian government asked the RAND Corporation to develop a set of lessons learned from its COLLINS submarine program that could help inform future program managers. COLLINS was the first submarine built in Australia. RAND investigated how operational requirements were set for the COLLINS class; explored the acquisition contracting design and build processes that the program employed; and assessed the plans and activities surrounding integrated logistics support for the class. Although Australia had intended to take an evolutionary approach in procuring the COLLINS class by using an existing design no design was suitable so the program pursued a developmental platform and a developmental combat system. This introduced a high degree of risk into the program particularly in the combat system technology. Among the imporant lessons: All appropriate organizations should be involved in a new submarine program from its inception the majority of the design drawings should be completed before construction begins and a thorough and adequate testing program should be developed.

Red Cover is considerably lighter than posterboard. TECHNICAL. "My main objective is to present a rather simple and short approach to understanding the steady-state behavior of conventional rotating electrical machines. In particular the discussion is aimed at explaining the steady-state torque-speed characteris tics in the case of d-c motors and induction motors. The explanation of steady-state power angle curve and of the effect of excitation on the power factor is the main subject of discussion in the case of synchronous machines. This book is addressed to those who do not intend to be specialists in the subject but nevertheless find it necessary to understand the general behavioir of electric machinery in pursuit of their engineering profession. I have attempted to develop the subject by an approach which in my judgment is one of the simplest and most direct. In the final analysis: electric machines work on the principle of Lorentz force; and this is exactly the starting point of this book. ". Numerous figures throughout. Index. .
