- Editor's Notes
- "Referring to estimate sent you for Orange. It calls for three units, viz: three boilers, three engines and three sets dynamos. Now in my opinion, two of these units would be sufficient to start with. ## We can't cover the whole town this winter. If you can spare the time to look over the map and note such outlying streets, or those with least valuable lighting, these could be crossed off. ## The three-wire system would require more than double the copper that our five-wire needs." Marginalia: "3 wire 190,000 lbs. ## 5 wire 75,000 lbs."
