- Stanley S.K.C. System Lightning Arrester, 1897-1905 - In the late 1800s, companies began producing electricity to light cities, run streetcars, and power factories, homes and offices. A potential danger to this power system and its apparatus was lightning and other large discharges of electricity. A lightning arrester diverts the surges and protects valuable equipment from damage.

- Stanley Ammeter, 1895-1905 - In the late 1800s and early 1900s, companies that supplied electricity to consumers needed a variety of instruments to regulate and monitor electrical output. These instruments were vital to the operation of power stations and needed to be accurate and rugged. Ammeters--used to measure the current in a circuit--could be found on switchboards or connected to motors and generators.

- Stanley Type C Transformer, 1895-1905 - Transformers increase or decrease voltage and are essential to alternating current (AC) power systems. In the late 1800s, with the help of transformers, AC power systems proved more efficient and economical than their direct current competitors. Transformers helped convert electricity to high voltage for transmission across long distances, then reduced it to lower, safer voltages for use in homes and factories.
