This is part of a 12 volume set. Volume M is the index covering all subjects in the other volumes. contents for the entire 12-volume work. The cumulative index provides access to the information presented in the set, and indicates at a glance the breadth and depth of the treatment through the use of inclusive page ranges for major topics. In order to allow the reader flexibility in using the index there are many cross-references. The entries themselves are qualified by up to two descriptive subheadings to allow detailed coverage. The reproduction of contents for each volume also provides an overview of the organization of the individual volumes.

The introduction of new 500 MW and 660 MW turbine generator plant in nuclear, coal- and oil-fired power stations has been partly responsible for the increase in generating capacity of the CEGB over the last 30 years. This volume provides a detailed account of experience gained in the development, design, manufacture, operation and testing of large turbine-generators in the last 20 years. With the advance in analytical and computational techniques, the application of this experience to future design and operation of large turbine-generator plant will be of great value to engineers in the industry.
