The Wausau Electric Co. last week
received from the factory an additional
generator and crew of men are at
present engaged in installing the same
1t is of $50 KilO watts and OF the same
size as the one in present use at the
plant. The company has a two fold
pGrpose in installing this machine
primarily to furnish additional power
to supply the increasing demands made
upon the company for power, and
secondarily to take the place of the
generator now in use in case of an
accident to the latter. 1t is an expen-
sive piece of machinery but so many
applications have been made recently
for power that the purchase became
imperative.
Quite q serious wreck was expert
enced one day last week in the Jacob
Mortenson Lbr Co.'s sawmill. 1t has
been customary for the night sawyer
and day sawyer to work the lever IN
opposite directions when operating the
leg carriage; when one goes off duty he
changes the gearing so as to reverse the
lever action lrom the way he had been
using it. This change was neglected
and the result was that when the mill
was started up and the other crew
came on duty the carriage, instead of
being reversed by che sawyer, shot
forward and wrecked things generally.
After several days of repairing the mill
was again started in operation, Thurs
day evening.
