Excerpt from Elements of Applied ElectricityWhat do you know about electricity?

These discussions which appeared in the columns of the Journal of Electricity during the year of 1919-1920 under the endorsement of the California Electrical Cooperative Campaign, an organization composed of all mem bers of the electrical industry, have received wide and em phatic endorsement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
