Download or read book Incandescent Electric Lamps and Their Application (Classic Reprint) written by Daniel H. Ogley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incandescent Electric Lamps and Their Application Since the advent of the carbon filament incandescent lamp so many wonderful discoveries have been made that the adoption of the electric glow lamp as an illuminant is now almost universal. A little thought will establish the fact, however, that the improvements made have been chiefly in the lamp itself, the introduction of the metal filament being responsible for the increased efficiency that has placed electric lighting practically within reach of all. In comparison with the advances made in filament construction those made in the direction of scientific artificial lighting have been small. The formation of the Illuminating Engineering Society has done much to create an interest in this important subject, while further, the work of Government Commissions and the publication of their reports on school, factory and library lighting has served still more to impress people with the importance of adequate illumination. If good lighting is important in public institutions it is equally if not more important in the home, and the approved methods of disposing of the light units so as to avoid unnecessary glare and produce an adequate illumination, as well as the judicious selection of wall and ceiling coverings, should be fully understood by all users and installers of electric light. The existing literature on the subject is of too scientific and technical a character for other than scientists, and in presenting this treatise the author hopes that the obvious gap may be filled and that the general reader may be assisted in deciding upon the most suitable candle-power and distribution in his own particular case. The author has to thank Messrs. Siemens Bros, for information concerning tantalum and permission to reproduce one of their diagrams; Messrs. The General Electric Co. for information concerning the drawing down of tungsten filaments; Messrs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Lighting for the Inexperienced The result of leaving these little details to the man is familiar enough. For one well lighted' house one finds a dozen in which the wiring is badly planned, the switches thought lessly arranged, the fittings wrongly placed, the lamps unsuitable, the shades ugly. There is no excuse nowadays for this state of things. Electric light in the house is no longer a new-fangled and inscrutable toy. Yet the householder, as a rule, still lacks that little knowledge of the things to look out for which would enable him to interpret a specification, avoid the more obvious of the common mistakes, and get for his money the most advantageous return. The aim of this book is to help him. Even the reader who is already a consumer will, it is believed, find a good deal in these pages that he did not know before. He may agreeably employ his leisure in discovering what parts, if any, of his own installation are beyond the reach of criticism.

Download or read book Standard Lighting written by H. C. Cushing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incandescent Electric Lights: With Particular Reference to the Edison Lamps All these attempts had but partially succeeded, to say nothing more, when, in 1879. The new incandescent carbon lamp of Mr. Edison was announced, and many savants, and myself in particular, doubted the exactness of the allegations which came to us from America. The carbonized paper horse-shoe appeared incapable of resisting mechanical shocks, and of supporting incandescence for any length of time. At this epoch Mr. Swan himself said that up to that time he had not been able to obtain any very satisfactory results by an analagous dis position of the incandescent organ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together science and storytelling, art and anthropology, Dewdney takes readers on a fascinating journey through the nocturnal realm. In twelve chapters corresponding to the twelve hours of night, he illuminates night's central themes, including sunsets, nocturnal animals, bedtime stories, festivals of the night, fireworks, astronomy, nightclubs, sleep and dreams, the graveyard shift, the art of darkness, and endless nights. With infectious curiosity, a lyrical, intimate tone, and an eye for nighttime beauties both natural and man-made, Christopher Dewdney paints a captivating portrait of our hours in darkness. Christopher Dewdney is the author of three books of nonfiction-Last Flesh, The Secular Grail, and The Immaculate Perception-as well as eleven books of poetry. A three-time nominee for Governor General's Awards and a first-prize winner of the CBC Literary Competition, Dewdney lives in Toronto, Ontario. "As you read these pages, your life will change, because the way you see half of it will change. The night we're all familiar with will emerge as a fresh thing, deeper, fuller, older, younger, more evocative, more intimate, larger, more spectacular and, yes, more magical, and much more thrilling."-Margaret Atwood, Globe and Mail "[A] felicitous literary gambol from dusk till dawn...Dewdney throws himself headlong into the deep pool of his subject."-Sue Halpern, Newsday "An enjoyable and instructive read."-Sven Birkerts, Boston Globe Also available: HC 1-58234-396-9 $24.95

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "We" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "We" is a dystopian novel which is set in a dystopian future police state. D-503 lives in the One State, an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass, which allows the secret police/spies to inform on and supervise the public more easily. The structure of the state is analogous to the prison design concept developed by Jeremy Bentham commonly referred to as the Panopticon. Furthermore, life is organized to promote maximum productive efficiency along the lines of the system advocated by the hugely influential F. W. Taylor. People march in step with each other and wear identical clothing. There is no way of referring to people save by their given numbers. Males have odd numbers prefixed by consonants; females have even numbers prefixed by vowels. Along with Jack London's The Iron Heel, We is generally considered to be the grandfather of the satirical futuristic dystopia genre. Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937) was a Russian author of science fiction and political satire. Due to his use of literature to criticize Soviet society, Zamyatin has been referred to as one of the first Soviet dissidents.
