not only should questions of convenience be considered, but also questions of its relation to economy in the wiring.

The switchboard shall be made of neatly and substantially built, of sufficient size to accommodate all the regulating apparatus, switches, bus bars, etc., named below without crowding, supported on a stout framing of, and set out not less than from the wall.

(Note. This specification includes only the instruments used in the simplest of installations. The instruments required for any particular installation must be determined by its individual purposes and necessities.)

There shall be placed upon this switchboard all the dynamo regulating apparatus and the following appliances:

-main ampere meters.

-ampere meters for risers.

dynamo galvanometers.

-dynamo galvanometer switches.

-dynamo switches.

(switches, cut-outs, etc., for purely local conditions).

All switches carrying over-amperes shall be knife switches; all other switches shall have sliding contacts, and shall make and break contact automatically beyond the control of the operator, who shall simply set the switch at the point of making or breaking.

Cut-outs shall be so protected that the molten metal cannot be spattered about on the fusing of the strip.

All switches and cut-outs shall be mounted on incombustible bases.

All connecting wires shall be carried 30. Connec

cases care being taken to secure good and
sufficient contact to prevent heating and
insure permanency; when made with lugs
or set screws they shall be in plain sight
and easily accessible for tightening.
Connecting wires shall be so run and
secured that crosses or grounds are im-
possible in the normal operation of the
plant. All main wires shall have a
capacity of at least C. M. per ampere
and no wire smaller than
B. & S. or

B. W. G. shall be used.

All dynamo, bus, feeder and riser wires

shall be of
