| Summary | "Lightning Rod Conference" by G. J. Symons is a technical publication written in the late 19th century, specifically published in 1882. The work is essentially a detailed report from a conference comprising delegates from various scientific and architectural societies discussing the creation of standardized rules for the installation and efficacy of lightning conductors. The text likely delves into topics such as the construction, materials, and mechanics of effective lightning protection systems. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the need for a unified approach to lightning conductor installation, spurred by the increasing inquiries from citizens and public bodies regarding lightning protection. It provides a historical context detailing how the Meteorological Society convened experts from multiple disciplines—including meteorology, architecture, and electrical engineering—to address the pressing issues surrounding lightning strikes and their devastating impacts. The initial sections outline the purpose of lightning conductors, issues in their construction, and the necessity of a code of rules for their erection, laying a systematic foundation for the subsequent detailed discussion.
