Title
[D8227ZAO], Letter from Charles Lorenzo Clarke to Thomas Alva Edison, July 29th, 1882
Editor's Notes
"I want your opinion--Parties want power at distance of several miles. It is out of question when operating under no more than 1100 volts because of cost of conductor, and if I reduce the size in order to lessen cost it reduces the capacity of plant too much in comparison with cost of same on account of resistance." Maybe run dynamos in series to boost voltage?
