Electrical Wiring Estimating and Costing

This book has been written with the main object to provide the basic text knowledge of the applications of Electricity which are so common in our day-to-day life; but still uncommon. Special attempt has been made to represent every-thing diagrammatically. The book may prove quite useful for basic courses at the technical schools, industrial institutes and at college level.
