TANIS The accompanying illustration shows an exceedinglysafe method of labeling a high-tension feeder whichhas been observed by the writer. Switches controllingfeeders are usually designated by either names ornumbers painted on the switchboard. With this methodthere is always a chance of an operator looking at the. NAME PLATE FOR REMOTE CONTROL HIGH-TENSION SWITCHHANDLES wrong name or number sometimes causing the mostdire consequences. The name plate shown here is at-tached to a remote control switch-handle, making itimpossible to operate this circuit without seeing itsname. Another safety scheme is the numbering of the ma-chine panels controlling the rotary converters. Therotaries are numbered consecutively and the correspond-ing numbers painted on the machine panels in large 283 figures on a white circular background 5 in. in methods are by no means too precautionary to keepoperators from accidentally operating the wrong switch.
