About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Nature's Miracles Volume 3: Electricity and Magnetism by Elisha Gray. Elisha Gray (August 2, 1835 – January 21, 1901) was an American electrical engineer who co-founded the Western Electric Manufacturing Company. Gray is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876 in Highland Park, Illinois and is considered by some writers to be the true inventor of the variable resistance telephone, despite losing out to Alexander Graham Bell for the telephone patent.
