History of the Incandescent Lamp (Classic Reprint) by John W. Howell Pdf

Excerpt from History of the Incandescent Lamp Constant experimenting was done to determine the relative advantages Of different ways Of performing the various Operations, and it was a long time before definite methods were settled upon. These methods were frequently changed as more experience was accumulated. Many lamps were burned On life test from the very beginning, to determine the relative value Of the various experiments. This constant experimenting and testing made the work most interesting. During the first year or two, Mr. Edison Spent a good deal Of time at the factory, and had a laboratory there. His presence and leadership Were a great inspiration to all, so that time meant nothing to those Who were helping him to carry out his work or experiments. As the various methods Of manufacture became settled, it became possible to organize the factory Operations and to adopt piece work methods; but it was a long time before any lamp making machinery enabled the substitution Of un skilled labor for the skilled glass workers. It is hard for anyone who sees the modern lamp factory to realize the work done in developing the art to its present degree Of perfection. The lamp is apparently very simple, but its design, manufacture, and development require quite a broad knowl edge Of physics and chemistry. This has attracted many bright-minded men to the industry, who have found it a most interesting field Of work. The growth Of the business, from the invention Of the lamp to the present day, has all taken place during the working lives Of some Of the men still in the business. This history Of the lamp has been written in order to portray the changes and developments which brought it to its present high state Of perfection and efficiency.

Guide to the Selection and Testing of Incandescent Lamps (Classic Reprint) by General Electric Company Pdf

Excerpt from Guide to the Selection and Testing of Incandescent Lamps Central stations are in the business of making and selling light. They may sell by the ampere hour, the watt hour, the lamp hour, or by contract, but regardless of the way it is measured, the customer is in reality buy ing and using light. Since the lamp transforms the electrical energy of the generators into light, the best lamp is an absolute necessity to obtain the best light. It is, then, almost a self-evident truth that the exclusive use of the best lamp is the only means of obtaining the best results. The exclusive use of the best lamp involves two condi tions.

Evolution of the Electric Incandescent Lamp (Classic Reprint) by Franklin Leonard Pope Pdf

Excerpt from Evolution of the Electric Incandescent Lamp In the following pages an effort has been made to bring together, in a convenient and accessible form, some of these detached fragments which seemed to have present or prospective historical value, and at the same time, as far as practicable, to indicate for the benefit of future investigators the sources from whence they have been derived. It is hoped that each reader will thus be enabled to formulate his own answer to the inquiry as to whom the world is principally indebted for modern incandescent electric lighting.

Incandescent Lighting (Classic Reprint) by Stanley Isaac Levy Pdf

Excerpt from Incandescent Lighting The subject of Incandescent Lighting is itself extensive, and IS closely related to several others of great interest. In endeavouring to give a general account in so small a compass, it has been necessary to make the treatment both concise and selective. Attention has been given primarily to the mining and treatment of monazite, and the manufacture of the mantle, but an attempt has been made to bring the whole subject under review, and to describe and compare the different methods of lighting now in use. The comparative treatment has been historical as well as general, and deals particularly with considerations of cost, and of efficiency from the energy point of View.

Standard Lighting by H. C. Cushing Pdf

Excerpt from Standard Lighting: With Incandescent Electric Lamps Since an Object is seen by the light which comes to it from the source and thence by reflection to the eye, it follows that color in the Object is seen only when the light contains rays Of that color. For example, a red Object will appear black under light in which red rays are lacking or a blue Object will appear black when blue rays are absent in the source. Daylight is composed of all the colors in proportions seen in the rainbow The light from Mazda lamps contains all the colors composing daylight but if the spectra, or rainbows, Of the two were to be compared it would be seen that the Mazda lamp was richer than daylight in the orange - red region and weaker in the blue. For ordinary purposes, the light from clear Mazda lamps is sufficiently like daylight to answer all requirements, but where color discr1m1nat10n is a factor, as in sorting or grading pro cesses for example, and in the laundry where scorch marks must be readily distinguishable, or where the artificial light is used to supplement daylight, as in an Office, daylight lamps, which screen out the majority Of the excess orange-red rays, find wide application.

The Coming of Materials Science by R.W. Cahn Pdf

The Coming of Materials Science both covers the discipline of materials science, and draws an impressionistic map of the present state of the subject. The first chapter examines the emergence of the materials science concept, in both academe and industry. The second and third chapters delve back into the prehistory of materials science, examining the growth of such concepts as atoms, crystals and thermodynamics, and also examine the evolution of a number of neighbouring disciplines, to see what helpful parallels might emerge. The book contains numerous literature references. Many refer to the earliest key papers and books, while others are to sources, often books, offering a view of the present state of a topic. Early references are to the past but as the book continues, it brings the reader up to date with more recent sources. The author, Professor Robert Cahn FRS, has striven to be critical about the history of the discipline of materials science and to draw general conclusions about scientific practice from what he has discovered about the evolution of materials science. Further issues that the book highlights include: What is a scientific discipline? How do disciplines merge and differentiate? Can a discipline also be interdisciplinary? Is materials science a real discipline? A large range of themes is presented in the book and readers are invited to interact with the author if they reach alternative conclusions. This book is not just for reading and reference, but exists to stimulate thought and provoke discussion as well.

The Age of Edison by Ernest Freeberg Pdf

A sweeping history of the electric light revolution and the birth of modern America The late nineteenth century was a period of explosive technological creativity, but more than any other invention, Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb marked the arrival of modernity, transforming its inventor into a mythic figure and avatar of an era. In The Age of Edison, award-winning author and historian Ernest Freeberg weaves a narrative that reaches from Coney Island and Broadway to the tiniest towns of rural America, tracing the progress of electric light through the reactions of everyone who saw it and capturing the wonder Edison’s invention inspired. It is a quintessentially American story of ingenuity, ambition, and possibility in which the greater forces of progress and change are made by one of our most humble and ubiquitous objects.
