Manuscripts
A firsthand description of the production and introduction of electric light into London, by an electrical engineer working in England. In particular, it details two 19th century lighting apparatuses: the Rapieff electric light apparatus, and the Jablochkoff system of lighting. Bird appears to have been directly involved in the electrification of South London.
