WESTINGHOUSE SERVES EVERYWHERE

Electricity makes the paper that records the worlds ideas Before the application of electricity to paper making the tremendous amount of power required limited the production of mills and consequently prohibited rapid and economical operation. Mills had to be located where water power was available, often at great distances from the source of raw material. Electric drive has revolutionized this industry. Westinghouse engineers met the problqjn of applying H electric motors and control to the intricate paper machine and solved it with the Westinghouse “sectional papei? machine drive.” Ali through the mills, Westinghouse is playing its part, with equipment for generating electricity, for distributing it, and for turning it into efficient light, heat and power.
