Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company's substations from the years 1901 to 1918. Beginning with the setup for distributing power to residents of the Mission District of San Francisco in 1901, the author brings the history of the company's power grid up to the context of World War I, when the need for power was greater than ever before. The author's main focus in this book is the innovative designs and structures of the company's substations - an important, yet often overlooked aspect of a city's infrastructure - and the challenges faced by San Francisco's electrical engineers at the turn of the 20th century. The book is a reminder of the challenges to reliably delivering power to growing communities and industries, and the need for public utilities to keep pace both with population growth and with the demands of the times. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
