...problems raised in constructing increasingly large water wheel and turbo-generators are for the most part mechanical," declared Morris Stone '23 research engineer for the Westinghouse Company, in a recent interview with a CRIMSON reporter. "Seven years ago the largest generator was capable of producing only 20,000 kilowatts; but recently a 95,000 kilowatt generator has been built and at present one is under construction which will produce 160,000 kilowatts. In increasing the size of these generators, the electrical companies have been facing mechanical rather than electrical difficulties...
Should U. S. housewives who fret over electric bills move to London they would find their worries considerably increased. For in Great Britain light costs an average of 13? per kilowatt hour, almost twice the U. S. average of 6.8?.

Although the company 42 years ago served current to only 75 lights, last year it manufactured and purchased 2,614,978,628 kilowatt hours of current. In the U. S. only three companies-Buffalo, Niagara & Eastern Power Corp. System, the Commonwealth Edison Co. and the New York Edison Co. System-surpassed it. The Tokyo company serves 11,395 sq. mi. across the most populous and highly developed midsection of Nippon, Japan's main island. In the territory are Tokyo (population 2,000,000) where the imperial government sits, Yokohama the seaport, and a great hinterland of rice fields, silkworm...
...been in preparation, that not for another three months will it be finished, that then at once it will be obsolete. There are in the U. S. (at latest count) 124 huge light, power and electric railway systems each of which produced more than 100,000,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity last year. They are constantly changing their corporate affiliations. The ten largest are: Buffalo, Niagara & Eastern Power Corporation
