Steinmetz Bibliography Intake

This page turns the current Wikipedia bibliography into an acquisition and processing control list. It is not the final scholarly bibliography. It is the work queue that prevents the archive from forgetting an important Steinmetz source while we continue scan-by-scan verification.

Source basis: Wikipedia, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, Bibliography. Every listed work below still requires primary source verification before its claims are promoted as reviewed.

Status Rule

Seeded: a local source record and public page already exist.
Edition variant seeded: the archive has a related edition, but edition/year differences must remain visible.
Planned source acquisition: acquire the book, lecture collection, or pamphlet.
Planned article acquisition: acquire the paper, OCR it, extract equations, figures, concepts, terms, and hidden gems.
Posthumous or late publication candidate: verify chronology before interpreting the work historically.

Critical Intake Targets

These are the highest-value sources to add next because they directly support the original goals: hysteresis, complex quantities, AC, transients, fields, lightning, dielectric stress, and apparatus.

Work	Year	Status	Why It Matters
On the Law of Hysteresis	1892	Planned article acquisition	Primary source for Steinmetz’s hysteresis law and magnetic-loss language.
Complex Quantities and Their Use in Electrical Engineering	1894	Planned article acquisition	Primary source for symbolic AC analysis and complex quantities.
Theory and Calculation of Alternating Current Phenomena	1897	Edition variant seeded	The archive has a later edition; first-edition differences need mapping.
The Natural Period of a Transmission Line and the Frequency of Lightning Discharge Therefrom	1898	Planned article acquisition	Critical for lightning frequency, line natural period, and distributed constants.
Lightning Phenomena in Electric Circuits	1907	Planned article acquisition	Direct bridge from transient theory to lightning, surges, and destructive voltages.
The General Equations of the Electric Circuit	1908	Planned article acquisition	Core candidate for the archive’s general circuit equation and transient/permanent term canon.
Mechanical Forces in Magnetic Fields	1910	Planned article acquisition	High-priority field-language source for force, stress, and pressure/tension analogies.
Disruptive Strength with Transient Voltages	1910	Planned article acquisition	Important for dielectric stress, transient voltage, insulation, and discharge behavior.
Outline of Theory of Impulse Currents	1916	Planned article acquisition	Impulse-current theory belongs beside the transient and surge sections.
Theory and Calculation of Electric Apparatus	1917	Seeded processing source	Major apparatus source for machines, transformers, losses, heating, and design formulas.
The Oxide Film Lightning Arrester	1918	Planned article acquisition	Surge protection and high-voltage apparatus language.
Condenser Discharges Through a General Gas Circuit	1922	Planned article acquisition	Gas discharge, condenser discharge, damping, and high-voltage transient behavior.
Frequency Conversion by Third Class Conductor and Mechanism of the Arcing Ground and Other Cumulative Surges	1923	Planned article acquisition	Arcing ground, nonlinear discharge, cumulative surge behavior, and frequency conversion.
