Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...organization that are exhibited by a successful army in the field, and these qualities are to be acquired by similar methods in each case. I think that many engineers would be surprised, were they to make a critical analysis of the operating records of some large power installations, to find what a large percentage of accidents must be charged directly or indirectly to defective organization. Penalties For Interruptions Of Service Or Insurance Against Interruptions The only point I wish to make on this subject is the desirability of keeping contractual relations between a power company and its customers as simple as possible. I doubt whether any penalty that it is practicable to get into a contract will have any appreciable effect on the continuity of service from a hydroelectric power plant. In most cases, the service will be the best that the ability and resources of its management can produce, irrespective of the question of penalties. I think that the common expedient of a rebate of charge during periods of interruption, and perhaps for an agreed period in addition thereto, will meet-the requirements of nearly every ordinary case. The plan described by Mr. Doherty seems to be in/geniously complicated. As I understand it, it simply means / that the parties have agreed that to insure continuity of service j a steam plant must be operated at times, and that the cost of y such operation is to be divided between the parties in a certain arbitrary manner.
