All of theapparatus mounted on the front of the switchboard is forlow-tension service only, so that there is no occasion for theoperating staff coming in contact with the high-tension current. All high-tension switches are handled from the front side ofthe switchboard except the switches for the outside circuits,which are behind it. A novel form of lightning arrester is used where the outsidewir
