TRENDS IN SWITCHGEAR
Little Resemblance Between
Old Marble Switchboard And New Cubicle Type
After the annual general meeting of the Institution of Electrical Engineers in May last, Sir Gordon Russell, CBE, MC, Director of the Council of Industrial Design, gave a lecture on "Appearance Design" in which he expressed the view that the best designs came from engineers who had had some aesthetic training leading to an appreciation of colours, pattern, shape, quality of lettering and general appearance.
He suggested that it might often be wise if an industrial designer worked with the engineer in the very early stages. In his view, there were many cases in heavy industry where large groups of machines could be improved by some co-ordinated thinking in regard to the components which were used with them.

Modern trends in equipmat of large stores and retail establish- ments have been toward a great- er use of electricity for any purposes, calling for switchgear of considerably greater capacity than was required some twenty years ago. This brought with it a growing trend towards the adoption of cubicle type switch- for the main gear not only board, but also for the switch fuses controlling the fooder circuits. Two essentials occur in this ense, first flexibility and secondly, good appearance, and both can be met by means of this unit system, while flexibility also exists in connection with the provision of extensions,
An example is the installation of cubicle gear at the premises at Spooners Ltd in Plymouth, where two supplies from difer- ent sources are taken to a moin board. The main supply, la con- trolled by a 1000A oli clread breaker and a second circuit -breaker of 400A controls the supplementary supply.
