finally docilely placed back in ;
cradle yesterday bv a single man.
The significance of the spvctaci
lair demonstration was that twice ;
much electric voitagi a* ever befoi
was produced and safely bandied,
also was made to do the bidding of
man operating a small switch with a
the unfathomable wizardry of a m;
gician bringing rabbits out o fa ha
For a small *??? * of o millionfU <.?
second the power was equal to a
the electrical powe rin America.
The exact voltage was 2,000,00*
which, as estimated by Charles i
Steinmetz, an electrical expert,
one twenty-fifth the power of a bo!
of lightening.
The demonstration was made i
the Pittsfield laboratory, renowne
among electrical men as the tran.
mission experimentation center. 1
was in charge of F. YV. Peek, Jr
who directs the high voltage researc
and Giuseppe Faccioli, chief elei
trical engineer of the Pittsfiel
works. | '<j
Mr. Faccioli said the laymen migh
get som ceonception of the powe
bandied when it war. realized tha
the greatest single amount of elec
tries! voltage now transmitted fo
public voltage now transmitted fo
public use is 230,000?that in Oil?

jec-ive was to keep research aheai
of need?so that when it is dcsirabl
to carry 2,000,000 vo'ts in a v.i?e i
