Oliver Lodge (1851–1940), the eminent physicist and writer on science, published in 1892 a pioneering and well-illustrated study of the protection of buildings, cables and telegraphic instruments from the devastation caused by lightning strikes. Lodge includes his own pioneering studies and proposes practices which were subsequently widely accepted.
