Illumination items: Inadequate wiring of buildings

Abstract

In a recent publication entitled, “The Key to Tomorrow's Commercial Lighting” the N. E. L. A. presents reasons why its member companies should cooperate actively with architects and consulting engineers to encourage the provision of considering wiring more adequately designed to meet the lighting requirements of the occupants. A few examples are quoted, to indicate the serious economic losses to the central station customers, through the attempt to save by cheapening wiring installations, as well as the advantage of providing liberal capacity. These examples are actual instances selected from a large number reported by central station lighting service engineers.
