1925 Electrical Amusements And Experiments By Charles R Gibson

An absolutely fascinating and original Antique book 1925 Electrical Amusements And Experiments By Charles R Gibson.

Dating to 1925, not a reprint,  it contains chapters on, e.g; A Mysterious Toy, Magnets, Electricity, Microphone and Telephone to mention but a few!

There are some wonderful black and white schematics and photographs illustrating the book of some brilliant experiments for 1920s children to try at home; most of which you'd not want your own children to try but, as a scientist, I enjoyed reproducing some of the Frankenstein experiments!
