Abstract
MANY are interested in the small electric generating sets that are used for country-house lighting and for supplying electric power for kinematographs, radiographic outfits, etc., in isolated localities. The invention of the tungsten lamp and recent developments in internal combustion engines have made small installations highly desirable in many cases. Most of the books which deal with this subject are now becoming antiquated, so we welcome Mr. Wilson's volume, which describes the best modern practice.
