Electric Gas Lighting: How to Install Electric Gas Ignition Apparatus

"Electric Gas Lighting: How to Install Electric Gas Ignition Apparatus" by H.S. Norrie is a how-to book from the early 1900s that teaches readers about setting up and taking care of electric gas lighting. It breaks down ignition methods like jump spark systems and explains how to set up lighting for single and multiple burners. The author wants to help people with some mechanical know-how safely build and run these lighting systems, mostly in big places like homes, churches, and theaters. The book starts by pointing out why electric gas ignition is better than using matches, which can be dangerous and annoying. It then covers the basics of electricity and induction, showing how coils and batteries can make sparks to light gas. The beginning gives readers the foundation needed for later chapters, which go into detail about parts, wiring, and safety steps for a successful electric gas lighting setup. The writing promotes a learn-by-doing approach and is meant to give readers the confidence to do their own electrical projects.
