Informs that in the three-phase system the voltage is the same between each pair of wires, as between any one of them and the earth. Wishes to discuss with Swinton the question of the "power factor", stating it is clear that Swinton has not overestimated the economy. Encloses a short note of the evidence he can give, adding that he declined to give evidence in support of the Manchester Corporation's opposition to the Lancashire Bill. |
