Excerpt from The Boston Electrical Handbook: Being a Guide for Visitors From Abroad Attending the International Electrical Congress, St. Louis, September, 1904
This little volume is intended to set before our distinguished guests from across the sea something of the achievements of New England and of boston, which is the educational and technical centre of New England, in the applications of electricity. Boston has been the pioneer in many successful enterprises, and has earned an honorable reputation in particular in the various branches of electrical science. It has. moreover, a distinguished reputation in the training of electrical engineers, as well as in pure science, and has furnished the capital and the brains for many successes elsewhere in the United States.
It is hoped that these pages will give at least a broad view of the technical features of interest in and about Greater Boston.
