Among the recent water power de-velopments on the Pacific Coast threegroups are of especial interest, asthey demonstrate the feasibility ofsuccessfully and efficiently supplyingcurrent for all kinds of work overhundreds of square miles of territory,the power being furnished fromwater-wheel and steam turbine-drivenunits located at widely differentpoints. The first of these groups ofwater power development is the Pa-cific Gas and Electric Company, ofSan Francisco. This company hasdeveloped the largest distribution sys-tem in America. With more than1,000 miles of 3-phase, 60-ooo-volttransmission lines they supply nearly100,000 kilowatts for power and light-ing—over an area approximatel
