Electrical engineering -- History, Electricity, Electricity -- History, Letters (correspondence), and Typescripts

Copy of 51-page typescript of book written by Lyle D. Feisel and two pages of correspondence between Feisel and Bern Dibner. The typescript concerns the history of electrical science and includes chapters on the work of scientists including William Gilbert, Otto von Guericke, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Augustin Coulomb, Luigi Galvani, Alessandro Volta, Hans Christian Oersted, André-Marie Ampère, Georg Ohm, Michael Faraday, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Wilhelm Weber, and James Clerk Maxwell. In a letter written by Feisel to Dibner enclosing the typescript and dated 1972, February 28, Feisel mentions earlier correspondence between the two and describes the Notes, thanking Dibner for his interest in the history of electrical science. In a letter written in response dated 1972, March 7, Dibner mentions a list of publications on the history of electricity and magnetism and invites Feisel to join the Society for the History of Technology.

Atomic theory, Corrosion and anti-corrosives, Electricity -- History, Geophysics, Nuclear physics, Petroleum mining, Physics -- Study and teaching, Radioactivity, Relativity (Physics), X-rays, Atomic theory, Corrosion and anti-corrosives, Electricity, Geophysics, Nuclear physics, Petroleum mining, Physics -- Study and teaching, Radioactivity, Relativity (Physics), Students, X-rays, Diaries, Scrapbooks, History, and Physicists

Typescripts; notes and notebooks; reprints; diaries; scrapbook. The typescripts (ca. 1933) include the final version of Wolcott's unpublished "Evolution of Electricity," a history of electricity and its applications, as well as various versions of the unpublished text and background reference materials consisting of reprints and typed copies of papers. The notes and notebooks (1899-1959) concern the wide range of Wolcott's interests and career, including student notes taken at the University of Wisconsin, class preparation and research notes prepared while Wolcott was on the faculty of the Colorado School of Mines, personal research notes and descriptions of processes covering topics such as electricity, relativity, atomic theory, the corrosion and volatilization of metals, petroleum production, radioactivity, x-ray testing, and Wolcott's proposal for a national clearing house of scientific information. The notes and notebooks also contain lectures, addresses, clippings, and memorabilia, as well as a synopsis of Wolcott's diaries (1927-1957). Reprints (1903-1929) are of a portion of Wolcott's thesis from the Universität Berlin (1903) and selected articles. The diaries (1902-1904) are of a personal nature concerning both teaching and daily activities. The scrapbook (1896-1926) contains clippings, letters, and memorabilia concerning Wolcott and his family.
