Excerpt from Electric Transmission of Power: Its Present Position and Advantages

It is needless to dwell upon the benefits of economical transmission of power. Where distance is involved, none of the existing systems are so nearly perfect as to leave no room for fresh trials; on the contrary, all kinds of manufactures and trades are alive to a simple means of transmitting power.

Extensive experience with dynamo-electric machines and their various uses has shown me that electric transmission has before it a very wide field. For this reason, I have collected into the following pages the most reliable data on this subject, and have added some experimental results from my own working. I hope I have furnished to the inquirer that information which will enable him to form his own opinion. It may be well to point out that I do not propose a system of my own nor advocate specially.
