Extracts from Annual Report* of the Electrical Department for 



THE Year 1905 



The problems upon which the main work of the year has been spent have 

 been protection, disturbance from alternating current railways and the 

 inspection of commercial transmission conditions. These together with the 

 correspondence have consumed about one-half of the time of the depart- 

 ment if the routine work such as the mspection of loading coils is excluded 

 from consideration. 



The attempt has been made this year to make the ledger numbers a more 

 correct and more detailed record of the work of the department than has 

 been the case in the past. There may be some question as to whether this is 

 worth while, but I have thought it desirable to carry the plan through the 

 entire year and in accordance with this plan I quote below the list of orders 

 with the amount of time which has been charged to each. This will take 

 the place of any special list of the problems which have come up during the 

 year, and it will assist in showing how nearly eleven years work has been 

 divided among these problems. The list gives the date when the ledger 

 number was opened, the ledger number, the title of the number and the 

 number of days charged to the ledger number during the year. In order 

 to indicate somewhat the character of the work on each subject, the time 

 charged has been divided into two classes. One including the work which 

 has been on the whole independent and origmal and may be referred to as 

 development, (D), and the other the work which has been more of the 

 nature of assistance, (A). All figures are brought up to December 20th, 

 1905. 



The work on protection has been in charge of Mr. Jewett, who has had 

 a large amount of correspondence to attend to in this connection, in addi-
