Electric Lighting Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Electric Lighting for the Inexperienced The result of leaving these little details to the man is familiar enough. For one well lighted' house one finds a dozen in which the wiring is badly planned, the switches thought lessly arranged, the fittings wrongly placed, the lamps unsuitable, the shades ugly. There is no excuse nowadays for this state of things. Electric light in the house is no longer a new-fangled and inscrutable toy. Yet the householder, as a rule, still lacks that little knowledge of the things to look out for which would enable him to interpret a specification, avoid the more obvious of the common mistakes, and get for his money the most advantageous return. The aim of this book is to help him. Even the reader who is already a consumer will, it is believed, find a good deal in these pages that he did not know before. He may agreeably employ his leisure in discovering what parts, if any, of his own installation are beyond the reach of criticism.
