This is the November 1918 issue of Electric Experimenter. The cover’s feature story is “Why Is a Blimp?” Also included is an editorial by Hugo Gernsback musing on a possible future light bulb that would use “cold light” of sorts and describes something close in principle to the future fluorescent bulb. Another article describes Marconi’s work in the Italian banking system, and another describes the usefulness of electric vehicles before gasoline engines became dominant.
