Electrical Review and Western Electrician with which is Consolidated Electrocraft

The Electrical Review and Western Electrician was a prominent trade publication that served the burgeoning electrical industry in the United States during the early 20th century. Born from the consolidation of multiple technical journals, including Electrocraft, the periodical was intended to provide engineers, contractors, and utility managers with a centralized source of technical news, industry standards, and reports on the rapid advancements in electrification. It functioned as a professional hub for a field undergoing constant, volatile innovation.

The editorial vision focused on bridging the gap between theoretical electrical engineering and practical application in the commercial sector. By integrating titles like Electrocraft, the publication sought to capture a broader readership that spanned from large-scale power infrastructure to small-scale electrical installations. It was well-regarded by contemporaries for its thorough reporting on the shift toward alternating current and its coverage of the trade policies that defined the pre-World War I electrical landscape.
