The General ~lectric Company has d evoted years of study to material-h a ndling and transportation problems, In its own vast plants the handling and , moving ofmaterials and produ,cts h ave been simplified to t h e high est degree, thus providing a daily demonstration of t h e value of electricity. A series of G-E advertisemen t s showing what electricity is doing in many fields will be sen t on r equest, Ask for booklet GEK-1.
A button is pressed. An electric motor goes to work, followed byanotberandstill others until twenty sections of a belt conveyor four miles long are in operation! Through an abandoned mine runs this giant wheelbarrow carrying nine thousand tons of coal per day in a steady stream from the miners to the coal barges on the Monongahela River. One man controls it with no more effort or concern than pressing a switch button. Electricity pushes it. ~ Not only conveyor belts of all sizes, shapes and kinds, but also hoists, tractors, cranes, eleva tors, stackers, locomotives, and other material-handling equipment have gained flexibility, dependability, and ease of control through electric motorization. Moving things in one way or another is the educated man's work in life. And electricity, ever at his command, is moving m.ore and still more of the things which move this new world of ours~ , \
