Frank Duncan Graham (1875 - 1965) was a prolific and eloquent writer of the ever popular and frequently reprinted Audel's guides of various titles. Graham seemed to specialize, however, in subjects related to steam engines and other types of engines. A few of Graham's more epic works include his eight-volume Audel's Engineers and Mechanics Guide, 1921, and the 12 volume Audel's New Electric Library, 1929, covering practically all that was known about electricity up to the time.
