Central station experiences, a series of narratives on the trials and tribulations of a steam engineer while learning to run an electric station;
A 1901 trade narrative from New York's Power Publishing Co., recounting a steam engineer's mistakes and lessons while learning to operate an electric central station, written for working plant engineers and firemen. The illustrations are hand-drawn wiring and circuit sketches in thick pen line — coiled resistance windings, rheostat arms, ammeters, armatures and switch contacts — usable as loose diagrammatic marks, repeating coil motifs, and informal technical lettering.
