Volt-ampere meters

P. A. Borden: I am pleased to see Mr. Fryer's reference to the advances which have been made in the use of volt-ampere meters in Canada, with particular reference to the Lincoln instrument. The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, with which I am connected, is probably the largest user of the Lincoln meter, either with or without the so-called V.A.D. transformer. The Commission and the 3 0 0 municipalities to which it supplies power for resale use a large percentage of the number of these meters manufactured in Canada, and I may say that both those who sell and those who buy power as metered by this method seem satisfied with the principle as well as with its practical working out.
