This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Recent Progress in Electric Railways: Being a Summary of Current Periodical Literature Relating to Electric Railway Construction, Operation, Systems, Machinery, Appliances, Etc The numerous electrical and other technical journals, which give such a large amount of valuable information, must cover so many fields that their bound volumes are not convenient records in any one branch, besides being of necessity large and bulky, and therefore not handy for connected reading or for subsequent reference.

Carl Hering was born on March 29, 1860, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, the son of late Doctor Constantine and Therese (Buchheim) Hering, and a younger brother of Rudolph Hering.
Carl was educated at Lauterbach’s Academy in Philadelphia and at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he received the degree of B. S. in 1880. Upon the completion of the courses offered at Pennsylvania, Hering continued his study at the Polytechnikum at Darmstadt, Germany, 1883-1884. In 1886 he received the degree of M. E. from the University of Pennsylvania. He continued his studies and extended them to include researches in the new fields of electrochemistry and electrophysics.
In 1885 Carl Hering obtained a position as an electrical engineer with Henry Moehring & Company, manufacturers of electrical machines at Frankfurt-am-Main. He then began the practice of consulting engineer at Philadelphia.
Hering investigated the regeneration of battery solutions and patented several improvements in battery construction. In 1900 he began the study of electric furnace when making tests for the reduction of arsenic ores. Six years later his experiments resulted in the design of an electric furnace in which the electromagnetic force known as the “pinch effect” was employed. This force, which tends to contract any conductor through which a current is flowing, was used to impart a desirable circulating motion to the molten mass within the furnace. The furnace which he developed required close adjustment of many elements and was too delicate of operation to enjoy more than a limited commercial use.
In 1892 Hering became technical editor of Electrical World and in 1893 established the Digest of Current Electrical Literature in connection with this publication.
In 1902 he was instrumental in founding Electrochemical Industry, which later became Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering.
Before 1890 he was well known in the profession and was sent as a delegate to many of the important expositions and congresses, including the Electrical Exhibition in Vienna, 1883, the Paris Exposition, 1889, and the International Electrical Congress in Paris, 1900.
Hering's published works include: Principles of Dynamo-Electric Machines (1888); Table of Equivalents of Units of Measurements (1888); Universal Wiring Computer (1891); Ready Reference Tables (1904); and a Standard Table of Electrochemical Equivalents and 7 heir Derivatives (1917). He also published a Road Book of Pennsylvania (1900) and compiled a summary of Recent Progress in Electric Railways (1892). He died at Philadelphia.
