Standardization in construction and operation as applied to light and power companies

E. P. Peck: In connection with Mr. Sindeband's paper, the plan, as a whole, is unquestionably right. The details will vary as time goes on. The main thing in a plan of that kind is to be sure that your standards are workable and that there are no unworkable theoretical ideas that some one happens to have put into them. I foresee that he is going to have a good deal of trouble with specialty salesmen. As soon as you standardize and decide to use one man's equipment, every manufacturer of specialties in the country will concentrate on you to have you change over and use his specialty.
