Story Of Electricity - The Greeks To Franklin (1968)

Reenactments of key advances in man's knowledge of electricity are told in the actual words of the discoverers. From the early Greek's electron, or amber, to Benjamin Franklin's single-fluid theory. The ideas, methods and inventions of William Gilbert, Stephen Gray, Francis Hauksbee, Pieter Van Musschenbroek and finally Franklin are illustrated in this first chapter of the story of electricity.
