Abstract
THE Institution of Electrical Engineers has just published the tenth edition of its regulations for the wiring of buildings. The ninth and preceding editions were entitled the “I.E.E. Wiring Rules”. This publication is very opportune, for the wide use of luminous discharge tubes and ‘all electric’ receiving sets has introduced several new problems as to the necessary requirements and precautions required for ensuring satisfactory results and providing immunity from fire and shock. The regulations do not take the place of a detailed specification but are supple mentary to it. We think that any wiring system which complies with the instructions laid down in this little book (price Is.) will be found satisfactory. The Wiring Regulations Committee has obviously taken great pains in its preparation. The definitions of the technical terms used are clear and the instruc tions for testing the completed installation are very good.
