Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book began underground, quite literally - detailing the evolution of underground wiring as it moved from makeshift constructions towards planned systems that persist today. The author, an electrical engineer, recounts the early failures and dangers as numerous systems were attempted. From the Croton-Borel to the Brooks System, Edison's Oil Pipes, and the Callender Solid System, the book explains the struggles, evaluates past solutions, and provides insights on their shortcomings. These descriptions set the stage for the book's primary focus on conduit and manhole construction, taking the reader through the development of now-standard methods and materials. This book concludes with an overview of emerging armored cable systems while acknowledging the continued dominance of the drawing-in system in the United States.
