ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
Its Recent and Rapid Developments Upon
the Continent


Before a recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Institute Of Electrical Engineers
Mr. H. Ward Leonard delivered an in
teresting address upon electrical engi-
neering developments in France and
England as contrasted with those in
America In its commercial develop
ment Of electricity America is placed
tirst--in fact. far in advance of the old
world countries-but considered from an
engineering standpoint Mr.. Leonard
thinks the United States is losing the
lead it has thus far held He lays the
responsibility for this condition of affairs
almost entirely at the door of the great
electrical monopolies, which have stood
in the way Of. progress, and particularly
in preventing the trial of devices and
systems of which Europe presents varie-
ties unknown to us He questions what
has been done in this country in the
way of electrical engineering develop
ment since Edison started his three wire
lightning distribution at Sunbury, Pa,
in 1883, and Westinghouse established
his alternating system with 1000 volt
primary and so volt secondary few
years later, and Sprague started the
Richmond electric railroad in 1887.
There has of course been great extension
of installation along these lines.
We have, Mr.. Leonard says, the best
three wire central station plants in the
world Also the best alternating sys-
tenn, converting from 1000 to 80 volts,
but we have practically no other kind
of central station to point to. We are
operating 500 volt continuous current
electric railways at distances for which
1000 volts should be used instead of
500, and after investing more money in
copper per car than the entire cost of the
electrical equipment we still lose twice
as much energy as is commercial in the
line. In England in alternating systems
a three wire secondary is used with 100
volts ON each side, and, according to
Mr. Leonard's view, there was no ex-
cuse except patents for 90 volt two
wire secondary originally, and none
save the inertia and prejudice of large
corporation for continuing to put in the
two wire secondary today.
Rotary transformers are used in sew
eral stations in England for a continu-
GUS current, high potential multiple arc
distribution, the secondary being three
wire system, and some American inven-
tions not patented in England are found
to have been utilized in central stations
there, while they have been neglected
