The J & P Transformer Book has been in print for 75 years and during that time it has been a rewarding work of reference for students, young engineers, older engineers who have changed the direction of their careers to become involed with transformers, practising designers and for generations of applications engineers. In the previous eleven editions the publishers endeavoured to revise the work, extend it and to bring it up to date. The fact that The J & P Transformer Book is still in demand is a tribute to the publishers and to the authors who have carried the torch to light our way for 75 years. The first edition was prepared by Mr H. Morgan Lacey in 1925, based on a series of pamphlets entitled Transformer Abstracts that were first printed in 1922. The book was welcomed as a key reference, giving a guide to British experience at a time of great change in transformer technology. It was reprinted and revised many times during the next three decades.

The ninth edition was produced in 1958 by Mr A. C. Franklin together with his co-author Mr S. A. Stignant. The tenth edition was produced in 1961 by the same authors, and was revised in 1965. Mr Stignant later retired leaving Mr Franklin, as the main author of the eleventh edition, to carry on the work. This edition was published in 1983 with some assistance from Mr D. P. Franklin, who had been appointed as his co-author.
