• Hosts processed text of most Steinmetz books plus "Investigation of Some Trouble in the Generating System of the Commonwealth Edison Co." (1919) and "Four Lectures on Relativity and Space".
• "Essential Papers" page lists primary papers it has not yet obtained (On the Law of Hysteresis 1892, Complex Quantities 1893/1894, General Equations of the Electric Circuit 1908, the 1923 Third Class Conductor paper, etc.) as "acquisition" targets.
• "Ether" concept page (its summary, secondary): in Radiation, Light and Illumination (1909) Steinmetz uses the classical wave-medium ether; in Four Lectures on Relativity and Space (1923) he "explicitly treats the mechanical ether as contradictory and unnecessary" and replaces it with "the field of force, or more precisely the field of energy". Bears on claim 7 (his field picture); to be checked against the 1923 book itself.
• "Lightning and Surges" page: modern restatement (reflection coefficient, surge impedance). Its "Chapter 5: Distributed Series Capacity" page reproduces the Transient-book rain-drop passage (claim 5).

Result: partial (secondary; useful pointers).
