We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Important Notice Electric Current Action IN this work I shall adopt the latest theory of electric action, which holds that what we term electric current consists of minute particles of negatively charged electricity called "Electrons." Current flow is the movement of these particles. They flow or move from negative to positive, and not from positive to negative as was the formerly accepted theory. I am not proposing to take any part in any argument as to whether this theory is right or wrong. I merely am telling you it is now the theory accepted by scientists, hence we shall use it in this work. I make this explanation from the fact that at the time the Bluebook was compiled the positive-to-negative electrical movement was still held to be correct. The acceptance of the new theory is very recent. I commend this, my latest work, to projectionists, with full confidence that it will be welcomed and approved by them. It will be revised and improved from time to time, as may seem necessary.
