Subcommittee on automatic stations

The newly organized Subcommittee on automatic stations has put in a year of very active work and has brought before the industry the dependability of protective devices for automatic stations in the six papers to be presented at one session of the Annual Convention in Chicago, by C. W. Place, H. L. Wallau, C. A. Butcher, Herman Bany, F. D. Wyatt and R. J. Wensley. The work of the next year has been very definitely laid out and the numerous subdivisions of this subject will be studied in considerable detail for a more comprehensive report next year. It is definitely planned to investigate the possiblity of applying automatic devices to perform all of the functions ordinarily included in the operators´ duties even as far as such matters as the leakage of oil from transformer or switch tanks.
