This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

engineer inventor manufacturer
Schuyler Skaats Wheeler was born in New York City, the son of James Edwin and Annie (Skaats) Wheeler.
Schuyler entered Columbia College, but left in 1881 to become assistant electrician in the American branch of the Jablochkoff Electric Light Company.
Schuyler obtained a place on Thomas A. Edison's engineering staff, and was present upon the historic occasion of the opening of the Pearl Street Central Station in New York in 1883, when the incandescent light was introduced. A number of distribution systems were subsequently established under Wheeler's supervision. Among the more notable of these were the underground systems at Fall River, Massachussets, and Newburgh, N. Y. , the latter of which he operated. Installing and operating plants soon lost their interest for him, while invention and manufacturing claimed his attention. In 1886, after a short period with the Herzog Teleseme Company, he became associated with the C. & C. Electric Motor Company organized by Charles G. Curtis and Francis B. Crocker for the manufacture of small electric motors. Under Wheeler's direction as designer, electrician, and manager, the business of the concern expanded rapidly. In 1888, however, Crocker and Wheeler severed their connection with the enterprise and founded the Crocker-Wheeler Company, which soon attained a prominent position in the manufacture of motors. Of this concern Wheeler was president from 1889. In addition to his private business he also acted from 1888 to 1895 as electrical expert of the board of electrical control of New York, and upon him devolved the responsibility of seeing that all overhead lines were placed underground. So energetically did he carry out his duty that poles were removed by force when other means failed. In 1895 he resigned this position in order to devote his time exclusively to his manufacturing interests. In that same year the works of the Crocker-Wheeler Company in Ampere, N. J. , were completely destroyed by fire. The construction of a modern plant was started immediately, however, and the work of the concern continued meanwhile in tents and sheds. In 1901 Wheeler presented to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers a remarkable collection of electrical books, the Latimer Clark library, which he purchased in London, including practically every known publication in the English language on the subject of electricity printed prior to 1886. In 1905-06 he served as president of the Institute and at the time of his death was chairman of the committee on a code of principles of professional conduct. He was also a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and was one of the founders of the United Engineering Society. In 1922 he served as one of the American representatives at the meeting of the International Electrotechnical Commission held at Geneva, Switzerland. He was a contributor to technical journals, and with his partner, Crocker, published Practical Management of Dynamos and Motors, which had many printings and was widely circulated. His death, from angina pectoris, occurred at his home in New York City.
Among his more famous inventions were the electric fire-engine system, patented Feburary 24, 1885, the electric elevator, for which he received patents April 21 and August 18, 1885, the series multiple motor control, and parelleling of dynamos, for which he was granted patents over a period of years beginning in 1886. In 1904 he received the John Scott Legacy Premium and Medal of the Franklin Institute for his invention of the electric buzz fan.
