Welcome to the Archives of the IAEI News-Bulletins
Thanks to the generous contribution from the collection of our Friend and colleague Mr. Joe Tedesco, we have received almost three decades of historical International Association of Electrical Inspectors – IAEI News Bulletins.
Beginning with the first edition published January 1929 through the 1950’s, Brainfiller had the privilege of scanning and are presently archiving this important collection with the permission (and encouragement) of the IAEI. The archiving is a work in progress and will continue until all of these historic documents are uploaded here.
By preserving this extensive historical collection and providing this archive, everyone can have insight about how far the electrical industry has evolved from before the Great Depression in 1929, through World War II and into the 1950’s.
Each article is uploaded as a flip book format meaning you can read it like an actual magazine on line. Review each description and simply click Continue Reading—–> to be taken to each edition.
There is much more in each issue than the highlighted articles. Some of it is a bit funny from our present day perspective. Happy Reading!
