| Master? Or Servant |
Electrical appliances are so much ¤ part of the American household scene today that most people- take them for granted. Refrigerators, freezers, mixers, irons, air conditioners, clothes and dish washers, ventilating fans, broilers, vacuum cleaners, heaters, etc., all contribute to our comfort, convenience and health. It's only when something goes wrong that we begin to wonder if electricity is our servant or our master. A five-cent fuse in a da'1* corner of the basement fails for no apparent reason, and life upstairs stops.. Food spoils in the freezer, the heating system grinds. to a halt, dirty clothes pile up, or a half-cooked dinner sits in a cold rotisserie.
Don't take electricity and electrical servants for granted. Learn something about them and their habits, and how to keep them working for you all the time. This book is a sort of primer on the subject, written for non-technical people who want to know at least a little about a very technical topic. It is a completely revised edition of an earlier book of the same title that appeared in 1955, and incorporates solutions to numerous problems posed by readers in all parts of the country.
