A simplified method of analyzing short-circuit problems

W. V. Lyon: As an introduction to the study of transients in electric machinery, Mr. Doherty´s paper should prove interesting, but I am sure that neither Mr. Doherty nor any other serious student of the subject would be satisfied with this approximate solution. There is no doubt that a more careful analysis which does not neglect the dissipated forces is more difficult, but rather than proving a deterrent this difficulty makes the problem more interesting.
