The service mains and branch mains are all in cut-out panels are of 3^ inch asbestos lumber. Theswitches are Diamond H, push, flush. One of the chief objections to low voltage systems,that domestic apparatus, irons, toasters, etc., cannot beoperated, has been readily overcome in this case by carry-ing the two outside service wires, between which the pres-sure is 114 volts, to such points in the building as there is. Fig. 5—Fourteen 35-watt Lamps in the Dining-room likely to be any demand for the higher voltage. The special 114 volt circuits for ironing devices, venti-lating fans, etc., are on outside lines of D. The transformer itself is shown in Fig. 2. In actualsize it is about 6 inches square. In the present installationboth transformers are compactly arranged close to the meterin a small enclosed cupboard which does not detract in anyway from the pleasing appearance of the room. The general appearance and effect in the various roomsis highly satisfactory. Fig. 3 shows a typical four-lightelectrolier carrjing four 15 watt 57^ volt lamps, in albashades. As a result of this arrangement the consumer getsthe light equivalent of three 16 carbon incandescentsfor the operating cost of one, with the added advantageof an improved appearance and a much more even distribu-tion of light. One single 15 watt unit also amply lightseach bathroom. Fig. 4 shows a five li
