Discussion on “modern central station design as exemplified by the new turbo-generator station of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston”

President Lieb: The paper by Mr. Moultrop on “Modern Central Station Design,” brings us face to face with a problem which has been before us these 20 odd years. It will not be a loss of time to consider for a moment the progress which has taken place in central station development, and in order to place this before you the speaker will abstract some of the data and some of the conclusions drawn therefrom as they appear in the last United States census report.
