Excerpt from Lightning Conductors and Lightning Guards: A Treatise on the Protection of Buildings, of Telegraph Instruments and Submarine Cables, and of Electric Installations Generally From Damage by Atmospheric Discharges
The lightning photographs, which have lost terribly in reproduction and diminution of size, are mostly the property of the Royal Meteorological Society. I ac knowledge indebtedness to many writers on the subject; but principally perhaps to the author and reviser of the third edition of Lightning Conductors, by Richard Anderson, 1885, and to the Report of the Lightning Rod Conference, 1882, both published by Spon. Re markably extensive references to the literature of the subject are contained in these works.
To workers who had been led by experience along something of the same lines as experiment and theory have led me, I attempt to do justice in an appendix.
The protection of cables and telegraphic instruments in general from lightning constitutes another branch of the subject, and one that can be treated far more definitely and distinctly than can the protection of buildings. This branch of the subject is discussed at length in Part II.; and instruments made by Dr. Alexander Muirhead are there depicted which are now on trial in several important cable stations.
