Xiam

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Possible hoax. A search for sources on Google and Google Books returns very few results. The person who founded this unit, James Wexiam, doesn't appear to exist. The sole reference of this article is a citation to a book titled The Encyclopedia of Electricity by Quincy, P., but the book doesn't appear to exist either.

 * Delete per nom (found similar non-results when I looked for refs). WP:AGF prevents me from using the obvious typo in the ref to support hoaxy nature of it, but it sure doesn't help his cause. DMacks (talk) 00:54, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
