| Summary | "Electricity in Locomotion" by Adam Gowans Whyte is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the mechanisms, achievements, and future prospects of electric traction in various modes of transportation. The book likely addresses technical, financial, and historical aspects of electric locomotion, appealing to an audience interested in engineering, transportation, or the evolution of technology. The opening of the text sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion on the role of electricity in locomotion, particularly focusing on the transition from traditional methods, such as horse-drawn vehicles and steam, to electrified transport systems. It outlines the historical context of early tramways and railways, highlighting the evolution and advantages of electric traction. The author hints at the resistance to change faced by innovative methods while expressing a commitment to detailing electricity's transformative potential in travel and transport across land, sea, and air.
