About Our Authors

George V. Hart (1910–1992)

George was an electrician most of his adult life. He worked on projects all over the world. When his health prevented him from working, he decided to fill a need in the industry—a useful, pocket-sized, one volume electrical toolbox library. When he was a young man, his boxing nickname was “Ugly”. He decided this was the perfect name for his book.
