Description
(Original Caption) 5/8/1938- To the uninitiated eye, this is just a bedlam of numbers and letters.To the trained eye of the system operator it reads clearly as inch-high type.It is the nerve-center of the Consolidated Edison system that supplies New York's metropolitan area,comprised of a population of 7,800,000,with electric power.The automatic pilot board provides complete information on operating conditions at all times,keeping close tabs on the maze of power lines that run like a spider web throughout the area.
