An electric bell is a mechanical bell that functions by means of an electromagnet. When an electric current is applied, it produces a repetitive buzzing or clanging sound. Including an introduction to current and how it works, this volume is perfect for those with an interest in basic electrical engineering. Contents include: "The Electric Current and Laws that Govern It", "Current Conductors Used in Electric Bell Work", "Wiring for Electric Bells", "Elaborated Systems of Wiring: Burglar Alarms", "Batteries for Electric Bells", "The Construction of the Electric Bell", "Pushes and Switches", "Indicators for Electric Bell Systems", etc. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 - 1916) was an Australian engineer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many books on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Google Books.
