Electric Wiring: For the Use of Architects, Underwriters, and the Owners of Buildings

Excerpt from Electric Wiring: For the Use of Architects, Underwriters, and the Owners of Buildings

One hears very often that this is an age of specialists. We are told time and again that all our thought and endeavour must be given to one branch of work, if there is to be any advancement. Yet it seems quite as true that there has never been a time when one must have so broad a knowledge. The development on all lines has been so great, and, in all branches of engineering, at least, these lines have become so interwoven, that one must greatly broaden interests and knowledge if the most is to be made of the special work. We may know only one thing, but we have to know about a great many.

Electrical engineering and architecture are certainly distinct, yet electrical matters are every year brought more to the architect's attention.
