Find the currents I1, I2, I3 flowing in the circuit.

### Electrical Circuit Analysis

#### Introduction:
This section provides an analysis of an electrical circuit with multiple branches and components including resistors, voltage sources, and internal resistances.

#### Circuit Components:
- **Resistors:**
  - \( R_1 = 20 \, \Omega \)
  - \( R_2 = 6 \, \Omega \)
  - \( R_3 = 8 \, \Omega \)
  - \( R_4 = 15 \, \Omega \)

- **Voltage Sources:**
  - \( \mathcal{E}_1 = 18 \, \text{V} \)
  - \( \mathcal{E}_2 = 3.0 \, \text{V} \)
  - \( \mathcal{E}_3 = 12 \, \text{V} \)
  - \( \mathcal{E}_4 = 24 \, \text{V} \)

- **Internal Resistances:**
  - \( r_1 = 0.5 \, \Omega \)
  - \( r_2 = 0.25 \, \Omega \)
  - \( r_3 = 0.5 \, \Omega \)
  - \( r_4 = 0.75 \, \Omega \)

#### Node Analysis:
- **Node A:** Connected to voltage source \( \mathcal{E}_1 \), resistor \( R_1 \), and internal resistance \( r_1 \).
- **Node B:** Between resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \), and carrying current \( I_1 \) to \( I_2 \) and \( I_3 \).
- **Node C:** Connected to resistor \( R_3 \) and voltage source \( \mathcal{E}_3 \).
- **Node D:** Connected to internal resistance \( r_4 \) and voltage source \( \mathcal{E}_4 \).
- **Node E:** Between resistor \( R_4 \) and internal resistance \( r_4 \).
- **Node F:** Connected to resistor \( R_4 \).
- **Node G:** Connected to voltage source \( \mathcal{E}_2 \) and internal resistance \( r_2 \).

#### Currents in the Circuit:
- \( I_1 \) flows through \( R_1 \) from
