ALL-ELECTRIC BRITAIN

Tremendous Strides

Being Made*

When the Central Electricity Board was formed in 1927 to plan and cons tract the network of transmission lines which now covers the country, and which is popularly known as the "Crid," Great Britain stood about. sixth or seventh among the nations of the world as measured by generation of electricity. Last year, before the Grid was completed, the country had" advanced to the third position; and, with the present rate of advance in the demand for current, it is likely to bead the list next year. Last year, when nearly all other nations had a reduced, consumption of current, this country's demand increased by seven

per cent.

Now the main transmission lines have been completed, the last tower being erected on the edge of the Now Forest few weeks ago The lines extend for 4,000 miles, and 5,000 pylons have been erected to support them. Two large industrial centres in which the Grid has for tea months been in complete commercial operation are are Central Scotland and Mid-East England mainly Yorkshire. Within the next three months North West England, South East England, and North Wales will be in a similar position, leaving five more areas to be completed The whole scheme is expected to be in operation in less
