ICS Reference Library Electrical Engineering 264B 1914 Textbook Co Hardcover

A handsome slice of early electrical education: this is the I.C.S. Reference Library volume No. 264B, Electrical Engineering, published by the International Textbook Company of Scranton for the International Correspondence Schools. The I.C.S. mailed texts like this to students across the country who were learning the electrical trades at home, and the content is the same course material that was also issued as International Library of Technology Vol. 134. It is a great shelf piece for collectors of vintage technical books, electrical and radio history fans, and anyone who likes a good gilt-lettered green cloth spine.
