EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases an intriguing collection of lightning conductors and fittings from the Edwardian era. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a glimpse into the past of electrical safety measures used during this time. The photograph features various components of the lightning protection system, including elevation rods, roof saddles, and points. The rods, typically made of copper or aluminum, serve as the primary conduit for diverting lightning strikes away from buildings and structures. The saddles and points, attached to the rods and the structure, facilitate the connection between the conductor and the building's grounding system. The elegance of the design is evident in the intricate details of the fittings. The smooth curves and clean lines of the saddles and points contrast beautifully with the rough texture of the rods, creating a harmonious blend of form and function. The image also highlights the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into manufacturing these essential safety components during this period. This photograph is a testament to the advancements in electrical safety during the Edwardian era. As technology evolved, so did the need for effective and reliable lightning protection systems. This collection of lightning conductors and fittings represents an important milestone in the history of electrical engineering and safety. The photograph, taken from the Verity Electrical Supplies catalog of 1903, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a unique perspective on the electrical equipment used during this time. Today, these components may have been replaced by more modern solutions, but their historical significance remains undeniable.
