Chester G. Gilbert has written: 'Power' -- subject(s): Power (Mechanics) 'Coal products' -- subject(s): Coal, Coal-tar products 'America's Power Resources' 'Petroleum' -- subject(s): Petroleum 'The energy resources of the United States' -- subject(s): Power (Mechanics), Coal, Petroleum, Natural resources
