Letterhead: Edison General Electric Co. [Confirmation of Message] May. 28, 1892 From whom received: Mr. Edison To whom sent: Mr. Insull Don’t think plan is a good one, as the cost of feeder will be heavy and unsuitable afterwards, and the multipolars will be too small for regular work afterwards. Church tells me that they have ample room for two more boilers and I have suggested to Mr. Gorton to replace some of the smell engines by double larger engines. The double engine will stop vibration. They are very much in fear of an injunction and do not appear to be afraid of not being able to take care of their load. Unless you put in some double cylinder engines so they will balance, I think you will get an injunction on you. The smallest expense will be to do this and use the old engines in your Tenderloin station.
