Central-Station Electric Lighting

Published in the late 19th century, 'Central-Station Electric Lighting' by Killingworth Hedges examines the emerging technology of electric lighting and its distribution methods from central-station facilities. Hedges, a member of civil engineering and telecommunication societies, analyzes various systems and their commercial implications during a time when gas was the dominant source of illumination. This work is notable for its insights into the transition from gas to electric lighting in Europe.
