I have scanned and uploaded parts of some old electric wiring books as follows. Hope people enjoy them.

Electric Bells and Electric Light
The Modern Plumber And Sanitary Engineer. Probably about 1907-1920. 'The system of wood capping of electric wiring still has its advocates', you will be pleased to hear.

There's some fascinating reading there.

Do you own the copyright on the images? Would you mind if I put the links and maybe some images from the books into the DIYnot wiki?

I suppose I do own the copyright on the digitised images, but as (apart from the MICC Book) they're all small parts of works I don't see anyone likely to start reprinting them for money.

By all means link to them in the wiki or extract the text/diagrams if they're useful.

NB They will disappear off Tinyupload if not downloaded for 100 days - you might want to move them to the wiki server.

The MICC book is my favorite. I especially like the chap with his BICC book in one hand and his MICC stripper in the other
