Description:One of the world's leading electrical engineers and involved in projects across the globe, Sir Philip Dawson (1866-1938) was at the forefront of the new technology of electric locomotion.

Impressed by the speed of American progress, Dawson is keen to impress upon his reader the need for Europe to keep up. With some 500 illustrations, this work offers a uniquely revealing picture of the earliest days of a technology that is now taken for granted.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
