Incandescent Electric Lighting; a Practical Description of the Edison System by Louis H. Latimer Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ...on that branch be cut in one by one by turning the keys with which each socket is provided. For large chandeliers, a switch is generally arranged against the walls, at some suitable point in the room by which all the lamps on the chandelier may be turned on at one and the same time. Arrangements are often provided by which lamps may be turned on in the hall at the front door, and extinguished from the top of the stairs, thus allowing one to have a light before them in whatever part of the house they may choose to go. This is a matter of economy as well as convenience, for it allows of lamps being lit only when and where needed, enabling occupants to use light only in the rooms occupied, while the rest of the house remains in darkness that may be dissipated in an instant at the will of any individual occupant. Lights outside as well as in are equally under control, and the coming or retiring guest may be lighted to the farthest point of the most extensive grounds without the necessity of the host being in any way exposed to the weather. To crown all, these luxurious conveniences are furnished at a price to place them within the reach of persons of but ordinary means. After the plant is once installed there is only the cost of the light actually used. No leaking taps, or defective joints, no smoke or smell, or dirt--those unpleasant features inherent in all other forms of artificial illumination. The various devices once placed are likely to last under ordinary usage as long as the householder will probably live to enjoy them; the only exception to this general statement being the lamp itself which, with the proper current for which it is constructed, is guaranteed to last one thousand hours. As the lighting company replace all lamps burned...

Book 5 by Ron Brown Pdf

You can see all the books available (so far) in this series by entering "The Non-Electric Lighting Series" in the Amazon search bar above. At this point, we've gone through candles and olive oil lamps and kerosene wick-type lamps and we've arrived at Book 5: Coleman Gas Lanterns. Time to get off the porch and play with the big boys. Pressure lanterns, though not as convenient as throwing a wall switch, will produce light on par with electric. Do you know the difference between Coleman Quick-Lite and Coleman Instant-Lite? You probably should if you're into prepping. It's nice to speak the language. It's nice to go to a flea market and know what you're looking at. Do Coleman Dual Fuel lanterns really burn automobile gas? This book has some first-hand test results. Plus recommendations about what to buy and what to avoid. And this book has an excellent section on carbon monoxide. YouTube has both good info and bad on carbon monoxide. But do you know which is which? Wouldn't it be nice to REALLY understand it? Well, the opportunity is at hand. Welcome aboard.

Lengthening the Day by Brian Bowers Pdf

People have always wanted light, and until the nineteenth century the only useful source of light was flame. Electricity brought clean light without flame, and sometimes even without much heat. This book is about the ways in which people have made light to lengthen their day. It explains howoil lamps, candles, and gas lights work and, drawing on writings of the time, shows how the available lights affected daily life. The principles of all the main types of electric lights now available are described. Alongside this technical history, quotations from Aristophanes to Jane Austen, fromJames Boswell to Kenneth Grahame, illustrate the social importance of lighting.

Book 3 by Ron Brown Pdf

As soon as we graduate from candles and olive oil to kerosene, the door opens onto the crazy world of bad Internet information about lamp and lantern fuels. Well, not all bad. Probably no more than 50% is silly, misinformed, or dangerous. From the FOREWORD: "Do you know the difference between white gas and white spirits? What about the difference between white spirits and mineral spirits? (Of course, there's always mineral spirits and alcoholic spirits.) How about the difference between mineral oil and mineral spirits? Or coal oil and kerosene? "There's a lot of information that you can find on the internet surrounding these topics. Some is just opinion and some is factual. Some makes me laugh, some makes my head shake in disbelief, and some, at times, makes me sad. "Before publication, this book (as the author notes) was reviewed by two petrochemical engineers, a college physics professor, and a chemical engineer. As it so happens, I am the physics professor in question. But that was my past career. Today I work in the oil and gas industry and have been in the industry for almost 20 years. "I want to assure the reader that the information presented in this book is accurate. The topics, written from a lamp-fuel and lantern-fuel point of view, have been simplified but with full confidence I can state that what is presented is correct. "Please don't burn your house down. Please don't place your family at risk. Please take the time to read these few pages. Please, please, please. READ THE BOOK."
