The Dictionary defines Electrician as "one who's work is the construction, repair, or installation of electrical apparatus." The profession owes its existence basically to Thomas Edison who perfected the distribution system for electricity which made the use of electrical devices practical. And Ben Franklin should be remembered as one who showed the electrical nature of lightning with his kite experiments. Today we take for granted that electricity is generated by coal, oil, and nuclear plants, and hydroelectric power from dams. We also take for granted the nationwide distribution system made possible in part by the Rural Electrification Act. Tesla can be acknowledged for his basic research with induction motors which today are all around us. Without electricity, and electricians, our world of motors, electronics, electrical controls, switches, computers and the Internet would grind to a halt. Electricians!
