HEAVY DEMAND FOR ELECTRIC POWER.—In the cold snap of the last few days, the Municipal Electricity Department has had the heaviest demand for power of the winter. Consumers have been asked to co-operate in relieving peak loads. The top picture shows an engineer inspecting graphs where the load is automatically recorded as yesterday’s peak was approaching. The dials on the left show the current on various inward and outward lines. The load graph for Tuesday is shown in the bottom picture. It covers from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., reading from the right. The morning, midday, and evening meal peaks are shown clearly.
