Description:
This is a nice set of Hawkins Electrical Guides, Volumes 1-10, a complete set. These are printed from 1927-29. Although these quality made reference guides are named Hawkins, they were published by the same publisher as the later Audels guide sets (publisher Theo Audel, New York). The Hawkins set are quite hard to find in good condition, as their soft covers were a bit thinner that the later Audels guides, and a bit more delicate. This set was well cared for, but not without some wear as noted. They are all in good, to very good condition with a leather like cloth cover in black with gold gilt spine lettering and pages edges. Good bindings and hinges, clean pages with minor yellowing, no writing noted, minimal edge wear (volumes 1,2, 10 have more edge wear than the others, but still quite nice), volume 1, 2, & 10 has wear on the front inside paper cover that has caused the outside cover to feel more flexible that the others, the outside looks good, the inside has some crease and short tears in the paper.
Hundreds of pages, with thousands of diagrams, pictures and instructions on about every known subject on electrical work in this period, including: Conductors, magnetism, induction coils, The Dynamo, The Armature, Armature Windings, Commutation, and the commutator, brushes, and brush gear, armature construction, motors, galvanometers, ammeters, voltmeters, heating or motors, inside & outside wiring, underground wiring, alternating currents, transformers, converters, regulating and indicating devices, power stations, the telephone, telegraph, telegraph key, electric bells and lighting, electric railways, motion pictures, gas engine ignition systems, electric cars, electric elevators, cranes and pumps, and more! Perhaps the most complete library writen in it's time!
