... I have actually quoted [see below] from the smaller sized 1956
edition (a third author - Stephenson - was added by then). I would
appreciate hearing from any owner of the 1943 edition whether
what I have quoted from the later edition incorporated any
changes from the 1943 printing.
Bob's quotations showed that the F=q*(v x B) formula was
used in the 3rd edition to define B. I am now looking into the
first edition of this book; it is very different in that respect.
The chapter on magnetostatics is before the chapter on
electrostatics. Here the unit of H, oersted, is defined as dyne
per unit pole.
