Power stations committee

The work of the Power Stations Committee during the past year has included the routine work in connection with the analysis of papers bearing on power station subjects, which were referred to the committee for attention. In addition, the committee arranged for the presentation at the March meeting of the Institute of a paper entitled Developments in Conversion Apparatus for Edison Systems, by T. F. Barton and T. T. Hambleton. The committee also considered the suggestions of last year´s committee, and gave considerable thought to the preparation of a symposium on auxiliaries in steam and hydroelectric plants. While a certain amount of work has already been done on this subject, because of the limited amount of time available, further action has been postponed, — the recommendation of this committee being that the incoming committee continue the work which has been started with a view to presenting a symposium on this subject during the early part of the coming year.
