Diesel Generator Handbook by L. L. J. Mahon. The book is a single-source reference on the practical design and application of diesel generating plant. The book is intended to serve as an engineering guide to all those who may be concerned with the selection, specification, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of diesel generator plant. It should, therefore, be valuable to the plant or services engineer; to non-specialist engineers and users; and to young technicians and engineers (especially in industrially developing countries).
