Cyclopedia of applied electricity : a general reference work on direct-current generators and motors, storage batteries, electrochemistry, welding, electric wiring, meters, electric lighting, electric railways, power stations, switchboards, power transmission, alternating-current machinery, telegraphy, etc.
A multi-volume technical reference on direct- and alternating-current machinery, wiring, lighting, railways and power stations, compiled by the American Technical Society in Chicago in 1916 for tradesmen and correspondence students. Halftone photographs and engravings show generator and frequency-changer sets on concrete pedestals, pipe-railed switchboard galleries, and long power-house interiors under arched windows and roof trusses, with manufacturers' credit lines and small-caps captions useful for industrial machine forms, dial arrays and deep interior perspectives.
