Synopsis
Excerpt from Wrinkles in Electric Lighting
In the following pages it is my intention to give engineers on board ship, who may be put in charge of electric lighting machinery without having any electrical knowledge, some idea of the manner in which electricity is produced by mechanical means; how it is converted into light; what precautions must be used to keep the plant in order, and what to do in the event of difficulties arising. I do not therefore aim at producing a literary work, but shall try and explain everything in the plainest language possible.

Written in the late 19th century, it is a product of that era and is based on the knowledge and experience of the time. The author describes how electric currents can be created chemically, by mechanical means such as the magnetoelectric machine, and how they are used to create light with electric lamps. The author includes valuable insights into the use and installation of arc and incandescent lamps, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. He also discusses how to arrange electric lighting systems on ships, taking into account the rolling of the vessel and other challenges of a marine environment.
