This work is not an electrical theory source in the same sense as the AC, transient, apparatus, or mathematics books. It belongs in the archive because it documents Steinmetz’s social, historical, political, and technological worldview. Claims from it should remain separated from claims about electrical science.
The OCR table of contents identifies these chapter titles. A source-specific title-plus-Roman parser now creates 18 candidate records: the introduction plus chapters I-XVII. These records remain OCR-derived and require scan verification before canonical quotation.

This source can inform historical context, Steinmetz’s public philosophy, and his views of industrial society. It should not be used to explain hysteresis, impedance, transients, or field theory unless another technical source supplies the electrical claim.
Research metadata: dashboards, counts, and verification routes
Generated source dashboard: this section joins the source overview to the book coverage atlas, source text reader, chapter workbench, visual maps, and formula maps. Counts are candidate research aids until scan verification promotes them.
America and the New Epoch currently contributes 18 processed sections and 44,474 candidate OCR/PDF-text words to the archive. Its strongest tracked evidence clusters are Ether references, Field language, Dielectricity / capacity.
This is a routing judgment based on processed metadata, not a final historical claim. The strongest next move for any exact quotation, equation, or diagram is still to open the source scan and check the page image.
