Information About

Modern Electrics




The circulation for this magazine increased rapidly, starting at 2,000 and increasing to 52,000 in 1911. In 1908, the magazine announced the "wireless registry", a listing of radio owners, their call letters, and the type of equipment they owned and how it was operated.

The magazine was sold in 1913, and ceased publication with the December 1913 issue. It then merged with Electrician And Mechanic to become Modern Electrics And Mechanics . The experience Gernsback gained with Modern Electrics led him to introduce Amazing Stories in 1926 , a pulp Science-fiction magazine.
