Electrical news and engineering . ith a few badly placed drop cords. The possibility of in- creasing the available illumination by suitable painting ofwalls, has also been hardly touched upon. The shoe manu-facturing industry is peculiarly susceptible to the effects ofbad lighting from a production standpoint, as regards rateand spoiled shoes, and it seems certain that there will begreat changes in this direction. A few of the most modern factories are equipped withautomatic signal systems, which can call individuals fromknown departments, or operate general calls throughout thefactory. There is a .great advantage in this system in timesaving, and the provision of these signal systems for shoefactories provides another opportunity for the electricalindustry. Extent of the Shoe Matiufacturing IndustryViewed as a whole, the of the shoe manu-facturing industry in Canada is surprising. The figuresspeak for themselves. There are over 200 concerns engaged in the manufacture of footwear and the average daily pro-. duction is well up to 200,000 pairs. These figures arc fullof meaning for the electrical industry. A daily productionof 300,000 requires, counting accessory apparatus as well,about 30,000 This power is not all electrical—that isthe end to be achieved, together with the provision of ade-quate lighting, protective and signalling equipment. Theshoe manufacturing business is as are many others—a fer-tile field awaiting cultivation by the electrical industry. THE ELECTRICAL NEWS 28,000 h. p.
