Disarmament is necessary for this reason. Our own reduction would be in

another to make the new idea into a commercial success.
This is the story of Oliver B. Shallcnbcrgcr,
and how in 1888 he discovered the principle
meter,
that led him to invent the watt-hothe familiar little device that makes practicable the commercial distribution of alternating
current, which means 95 of all the electricity that is distributed.
Shallenberger, who resigned a Naval commission to take up his work with Westing-housmade his discovery while experimenting with a newly devised alternating current
arc lamp. His attention was attracted by the
behavior of a small spring which had fallen
upon the main magnet of the lamp, into such
a position that the forces proceeding frtfm
both the magnet coil and the extended soft
iron core affected it. And the simple little
thing that he noticed was merely that the
spring was slowly rotating! But to the intelligently curious observer, that was enough.
Further experiments having satisfied him
that the action was caused by alternating

At the conclusion of this address

by his knowledge of Westinghouse policies, to
make practical the newly found principle.
Three weeks of almost uninterrupted toil, and
he had produced the first practical alternating
current meter of the induction type the universal type of the present time.
Thus for the first time the measurement of
the quantity of alternating current passing
through a line was made commercially practicable and its distribution became possible
from an economic as well as an engineering
point of view. In fact, the whole structure of
our great power systems depends upon the
accurate measurement, by millions of such
meters, of the electricity used in the homes and
industries of the nation. So well was Shallen-bcrger- 's
work done, and so complete was his
conception of the possibilities of his discovery,
that for more than thirty years his fundamental
idea has been in use in many and various forms.
The encouragement which Westinghouse
has always given to new ideas, and the judgment with which they have been evaluated,
are nowhere better exemplified than in this
story of the alternating current meter.
