ing Scale Units

Washington, D. O., August IL -
The federal power commission to-
day announced the publication OF
glossary Of important power and
rate terms, authorizations and units
OF measurement compiled by the
commissions staff.
The purpose Of the glossary Is 10
provide uniform terminology for the
reports, documents and correspon-
dence Of the commission. II Is not
intended TO prescribe standards for
the electric utility industry.
Thousands Of reports received by
the commission from both publicly
and privately owned electric utilities
indicate that q great diversity pre-
walls In the use and meanings. Of
various well-known terms relating
TO electric and power rates. A con-
siderable amount Of correspondence
between the commission and util-
tiles was necessitated by these In
terpretative differences.
As o consequence Of these condi-
lions, a draft of the glossary was
prepared by the STAFF Of the COM
mission and submitted to q num-
Der Of representative men directly
or indirectly connected with the
electric utility industry, among
them members Of the sectional
committee on electrical definitions,
American standards association.
This resulted In the receipt OF more
than o thousand suggestions which
were classified and analysed. In the
majority Of cases II was found feas-
ible to define terms In agreement
with the suggestions received. In
some cases, however, competent men
in the industry submitted conflict
Ing meanings for the same terms.
In those cases It was necessary for
the commissions engineers TO use
their best Judgment In formulating
definations. Experience indicated
the need for abandonment Of the
use Of certain terms and these are
listed with the notation that they
should not be used.
The glossary consists Of the def
