The purpose of this paper is to serve as an introduction to the succeeding comprehensive article by Mr. E. Rosenberg, on the subject of Magnetic Pull in Electric Machines. The Maxwell equation, upon which all of the formulas for unbalanced magnetic pull are based, is first established. A critical review is then given of the articles pertaining to this subject, which have appeared in the technical press to date. It is pointed out wherein the various expressions which have been proposed differ from one another and to what extent they are consistent.
