Mastering power production ; the industrial, economic and social problems involved and their solution . aphrasing myoft-repeated statement that it is not the perfection of equipmentbut the mode of its use that causes the success or failure of opera-tion, the Engineering Bulletin No. 2, prepared by the UnitedStates Fuel Administration, admits that a good plant poorlyoperated will show low efficiency, while a poor plant skillfullyoperated will sometimes show a relatively high efficiency.,, In-deed it becomes almost a trait to repeat that the performancedemonstrated during the test is seldom attained in practice orthat conditions change from day to day, from hour to hour,even from moment to moment. These changes must be inter-preted, and the degree of intelligence with which they are in-terpreted marks the degree of success which will be realized infuel saving. * Mr. Lazarovich-Hrebelianovich described105 a glaring caseof this rise and fall of efficiency in a public utility power plant.
