That ancient electrical engineering book I found in storage?

Turns out to be available (complete with diagrams and illustrations) from Project Gutenberg.

So if you are interested in stuff like AC wiring, power stations, or telephones (all circa 1917) check this out.

I actually have something similar to that. It's one volume of a two-volume set of engineering books from the Twenties.

Got it at a local used book store famous for its attic full of old books.
