"The Electric Meter Reading Handbook
authored by Virgil Johnson does an excellent job of explaining
how to read revenue meters. The manner in which his graphics
are done support the text makes it very easy to understand
how to read the various types of meters. The book has
some excellent information on meter safety, energy diversion
and typical metering problems that are encountered. The
practice problems are very effective at building skills. We
recommend this book to our apprentice lineman trainees as supplemental
training and also recommend it to any students considering
