"The organization of the Electric Railway Test Commission was due to the recognition by the officials of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of the fact that the presence of a large amount of electric railway apparatus gathered together for exhibit purposes offered an exceptional opportunity for obtaining practical and scientific information of equal interest to the producer and to the user of electrical machinery; and of the further fact that such investigations could most advantageously be carried out under the auspices of the Exposition." illus. <br/> <br/> McGraw Publishing Co. hardcover
