Transcriber's note:

Every effort has been made to replicate this text as faithfully as possible. Some changes have been made. They are listed below.

The format used for fractions in the original, where 1 1-4 represents 1¼, has been changed to the latter.

In the chapter "How to Make an Induction Coil," a section heading "PART I." was removed as there is no "PART II."

The following is a list of changes made to the original. The first line is the original line, the second the corrected one.
