Excerpt from Sharpsteen's Lessons in Electricity for Beginners
1. - The average stationary steam engineer thinks that he has got his hands full to keep his boilers clean and tight, and his engine or engines running smoothly, when all at once he has an electric-light plant saddled upon him. The old trouble with boilers and engines are of small import now, when compared with the new perplexities. All is new and mysterious. Fuses, switches, branch blocks, amperes, volts, electro - motive force, current, and many other terms are showered down upon him in.
