Standards: Revision of “recommended practise for electrical apparatus on shipboard” approved

At the October 9th meeting of the Standards Committee there was received a report constituting a revision of “Recommended Practise for Electrical Installations on Shipboard,” Section 45 of the A. I. E. E. Standard series. This revision, while extensive as to material affected, involves no fundamental changes, simply revisions due to changes in practise and development of the art. It was prepared by the A. I. E. E. Technical Committee on Application to Marine Work under the chairmanship of R. A. Beekman of the General Electric Company. These Recommendations, originally called the “Marine Rules,” appeared in their first edition in 1920 and in revised form in an edition of 1927, which the present revision will supercede. The Standards Committee approved the revision as submitted to them and on their recommendation, the Board of Directors acted likewise on October 15, 1930. The work of issuing a new edition will begin at once.
