Electrical Control for Machines

**** The "Electrical Control for Machines, 7th Edition" has elicited a mixed response from customers, highlighting both the positives and negatives of the text. While many appreciate the clear explanations and well-structured content, some criticize the outdated nature of the material and errors in the formulas presented. Several users pointed out the book’s excessive formatting, such as the use of an overly large font, which leads to a bloated page count—claiming that the core content could be effectively communicated in fewer pages. Some reviewers found the book lacking in modern technological relevance, describing it as outdated, with one noting it was published in 2004 instead of the claimed 2016. Despite these issues, it's acknowledged that the book can serve a useful purpose for those wanting foundational knowledge about electrical controls—particularly for those new to the field who might benefit from understanding the pre-complexity of the technology. Experienced technicians viewed it as a relic of the past, potentially serving as a historical reference rather than a modern teaching tool. Overall, while "Electrical Control for Machines" may hold value for certain audiences, its outdated approach and presentation leave much to be desired, especially Considering its price point. **
