Abstract
IN the sixty-odd years of its existence, progress in the electrical industry has been so extraordinarily rapid and the applications of electricity in the service of man so numerous and widespread that the passing of time may serve to dim or obscure the labours of those who have “directed and safeguarded electrical progress”. That this may not be so, the Council of the Institution of Electrical Engineers very wisely decided on the preparation of a history of the Institution, and were fortunate in entrusting the work to Commander Appleyard.
The History of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (1871–1931)
