What This Source Currently Gives The Archive
Section titled “What This Source Currently Gives The Archive”General Lectures on Electrical Engineering currently contributes 17 processed sections and 61,815 candidate OCR/PDF-text words to the archive. Its strongest tracked evidence clusters are Radiation / light, Waves / transmission lines, Lightning / surges.
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.

Verification Focus
Section titled “Verification Focus”Source custody
Verify title page, edition, page images, and OCR line boundaries before final quotation.
Mathematics
Use the formula map to locate equations, then correct OCR symbols and preserve Steinmetz notation before modern translation.
Interpretation boundary
Modern engineering and ether-field readings belong after source anchoring, with labels kept visible.
