Discussion on “application of electricity to the ore handling industry,” (Gilpin), Cleveland, Ohio, March 18, 1915. (see proceedings for March, 1915)

D. B. Rushmore: In the handling of ore and in the handling of a great many commodities by mechanical means, and we will suppose the electrically driven, it is very interesting to try to find the economic reason for the application of the electric motor. It is almost a general rule that a factory having economic functions is going to go forward absolutely regardless of opposition or point of view.
