Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central Station Management and Finance Electrical engineer and published in that journal during the present year. It has been the aim throughout to develop a practical plan applicable to the vast majority of central stations in this country, and to lay down rules not only for a good scheme of organization, but for a satisfactory basis of account-keeping. The text embodies a large number of forms, blanks, sheets, registers, tickets labels, analyses, etc such as have been in actual use by the writer, and the regular employment of which has added greatly to the efficiency and earning capacity of central stations with which he has been connected. Interspersed in the text will be found many hints and suggestions that deal with station opera tion and that bring out the close relationship between sound engineering and scientific bookkeeping. In a station that is properly conducted, the system of organization that is established in the dynamo-room and the engine-room will run through to the last figure of its balance sheet. The hands of the superintendent or electrical engineer will be immeasurably strengthened by the knowledge he enjoys of the manner in which his work is telling day by day in higher economy of operation and in the growing margin of profit. While almost any of the blanks may be used individually, the author earnestly recommends a close adherence to the general scheme he has worked out. He has been much gratified by the approval bestowed on the articles not only by parent and local companies, but by leading authorities here and abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cutting Central Station Costs: Ways by Which Central Station Managers, Operating Engineers and Sales Managers Are Meeting High Costs Central stations during the great war met the problems of furnishing energy under heavy restrictions. War brought the necessity of producing power with poor fuels, higher labor costs and extraordinary conditions of demand in many localities. The central station manager produces electricity to sell. lie has always been aggressive in producing power at lower costs and the war has acted as an added incentive to make useful every pound of coal, every piece of machinery and equipment and every dollar of administrative and selling expense. Practical methods by which scores of central station men the country over have worked out their problems have been compiled in this book. The material has appeared in the Electrical World during the last nine months of war. In many cases, one man's idea in one issue has suggested to some other man his plan, which in subsequent issues has been presented for the industry. The industry now is entering a period of reconstruction and many of the plans and methods which have proved successful have a direct application in the everyday practice of the central station manager. To make this material most easily available to the reader, the book has been divided into sections-taking up in order operating economies in boiler and generating rooms, line construction and distribution methods and substation practice, then commercial practice and administrative plans, including tried out methods of reducing costs of meter reading, billing collections, the discontinuance of free service and the financing of extensions. The book concludes with timely articles on the training of women in central station work. This book is essentially a collection of methods. It is presented as a practical help to the men in responsible charge of central station work - a convention on paper to help solve everyday problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central Station Bookkeeping and Suggested Forms: With an Appendix for Street Railways Central Station Management and Finance. The articles being somewhat new at the time seemed so well thought of that they were published in book form. These articles were very crude; the forms lacked many features necessary or convenient and were not carried nearly far enough to cover the ground. Since those articles were written, having made personal examination of some 160 different stations both technically and financially for the United States Census, the writer thinks the subject can be covered much more fully, and in the light of past experience has attempted to outline and suggest methods and forms for use in such places, which, while not claiming to be perfect, contain the general outline of a classification, scheme of analysis, and forms of books and blank reports which may be of use in developing a system for any station. No claim is made for entire originality, as many of the forms are but slight, modifications of those used by companies already existing.

Download or read book Railway Management at Stations Classic Reprint written by Edmund B. Ivatts and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Management at Stations Both for economy and training purposes nothing surpasses the introduction of a reasonable number of well-educated youths of about fifteen years of age, but certainly not over sixteen years. Too many, however, of these at a station weaken the character of the staff, while too few or none at all has the same effect, because there is then no introduction of new young blood. As the child is trained in the nursery and thence becomes a boy in a public school, so a youth is trained in the rudiments of a railway office, and growing to man's estate becomes an experienced railway clerk. One most important principle of staff organisation is to avoid vesting the chief efficiency of the work upon a few of what may be termed pivot men, who, if suddenly withdrawn, will cause confusion and serious disturbance of the work. This can be cheaply and certainly met by a discreet intermixture of youths among the staff. A youth after three years working, from fifteen to eighteen years of age, is often quicker and able for more routine work than a man of twenty-five years of age. Thus, as a general principle of working, an agent should strive to work up a second hand able in an emergency to fill any particular post. In no other way can permanence and progressive efficiency be attained. The grasp of mind necessary for railway organisation is rarely found in the every-day young man. It requires a combination of mental qualities peculiarly blended and allied with a practical detail knowledge of the business. There is a certain preciseness necessary in the organiser who is constantly obstructed by the daily emergencies that arise in the working of the traffic. A station agent employed in arranging the receipt and despatch of goods necessarily has his mind more or less full of expedients indispensable to carrying on such duties. Expedients and a proficiency in applying them readily to all circumstances that arise, render the mind somewhat callous to the advantages of methodical plans. As a comparison it calls to mind the man who trusts to his memory with the man who systematically makes memoranda. The man of expedients is a man of tact, and the bias of his mind is rather to trust to this qualification than to the building up of organisation. The man of expedients is usually busy and in a bustle because he has always something special to arrange, while the organiser having brought everything within the scope of his system quietly watches the progress of his arrangements, fits in improvements wherever he sees an opportunity, and provides for such matters that daily occur as may require incorporating into the general system. For examples illustrating these two characteristics take the American and the Frenchman. The American is all expedients - he rushes at his work with an impetuosity and determination to accomplish his aim. To use his own expression he piles into it, and generally succeeds when the work can be accomplished by forcible spasmodic efforts. His quick adaptation of the means to the difficulties and the leverage he puts on, often carry him through successfully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity Meters: Their Construction and Management, a Practical Manual for Central Station Engineers, Distribution Engineers, and Students The rapid growth of the Electricity Supply industry during the last fifteen years has brought into action enormous numbers of Electricity Meters of many types, depending for their action on various principles. Considering the important part these relatively small pieces of apparatus play in the industry, it is surprising how little is to, be found in Electrical literature devoted to them and to their construction and management. Descriptions of new meters have certainly from time to time appeared in the technical press, but apart from these very little has been written on the subject. o attempt has been made in the following pages to even refer to many meters which have appeared, but which have from various causes not found favour. A description, however brief, of all the meters which have been tried would fill a volume of considerable size, much of which would be out of date. From a historical point of view this matter would no doubt be interesting, but from a practical one it is not so important. Only those meters have, therefore, been described which are in use at the present day or those which have recently been introduced.
