Description:Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Electricity Describing in Non-Technical, Language What Is Known About, Electricity and Many of Its Interesting Applications The first edition of this work was published towards the end of 1905, and while repeated editions have been called for, these have been merely reprints. But things move quickly in the electrical world, and since the first edition was published much has happened in several departments. Wireless telegraphy has made great strides, and wireless telephony has passed from the experimental stage into the business world. A good deal of new matter has been added in connection with these; an entirely new chapter having been added on wireless telephony. Owing to very interesting advances in the working of telephone exchanges, the greater part of Chapter XIV is new. Then our ideas concerning the inner nature of electrical phenomena have been extended very considerably by the advent of the electron theory; a good deal of new matter has been added in this connection. In addition to these matters the whole text has been carefully revised so that it covers any new ground. The author is indebted again to Professor Magnus Maclean, MA., D.SC., F.R.S.E., for very kindly reading the proof-sheets. Also to William Allan, A.M.I.E.E. (Chief Electrician to the National Telephone Company in Glasgow) for reading the chapters dealing with telephony. And to J. Erskine-Murray, D.SC., F.R.S.E., M.I.E.E. (Consulting Wireless Telegraphist) for reading those chapters relating to communication through space.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
