that this should be reported im

“Failure to report might cause
inconvenience, as it may be im
practicable to change over the
added unreported item at the
same time as customers’ other
equipment. This would mean, of
course, that the unreported item
would be out of service until the
needed replacement parts could
be obtained and fitted."
But this possibility, the Hydro
Chairman said, can be avoided
simply by making a telephone
call.
Flease Be At Home
A reminder is sent a day or
two before the actual change-
over, stressing the need for some
responsible person being at home-
on that day.
If a home is found to be un
occupied on changeover day, it
is necesary for the power to be
cut off in order to prevent dam
age to the customer’s connected
25-cycle appliances when the
60-cycle frequency is connected.
Operation Changeover
On “cutover” day, familiar red
trucks take Hydro technicians to
the district concerned. These
technicians go from house to
house to make sure that all fre
quency sensitive appliances are
disconnected. A tag is placed on
each appliance that has not been

is given from the trailer,
25-cycle power is cut off and
new . 60-cycle is switched on
the first time.
The changeover system is
unlike a military exercise, and a
very efficient one.
Power is usually cut off only
for a few minutes.
The task of changing over
equipment usually takes place in
the customers' homes. But, if
special work is necessary, the
appliance is taken to Hydro’s
workshop in London where the
necessary adjustments may be
made more conveniently.
This may mean that the custo
mer might be without the use of
an appliance for a short time.
In cases of actual inconvenience,
Hydro will issue urgently-needed
appliances on loan while those
of the customer are at the work
shop.
Minutes count in this big job.

thought like defrosting a refrig
