From the Preface
This new edition of a popular pocket reference contains much new material. The pocket size has much new information inserted where needed to bring it up to date.

The value of the new edition has been enhanced by its more compact format that allows you to locate your information more quickly. Information in this edition has been updated to reflect changes in the latest edition of the National Electrical Code (also known as the code).

The purpose of this book is to aid you in your everyday tasks and keep you updated with the latest facts, figures, and devices in this important trade.

Many illustrations are included, which show a variety of parts and techniques found in present day practice in the field. Obviously, not all related problems can be presented here, since there is a great deal of ingenuity required by the worker on the job.
