...award were unquestionably thinking of the drawing as a Kent, not as a Hammarstrom product. Had Marcus & Co. argued that the prize winning advertisement was a Marcus & Co. achievement for which no personal credit should be given, their position would not be in conflict with the Harvard Award system, which generally glorifies organizations rather than individuals. What chiefly troubles Mr. Kent (and puzzles the advertising world) is that, having decided to give personal credit, Marcus & Co. put the laurel wreath upon the Hammarstrom brow...
Tremendous, indeed, were the changes in the Penn system during the 50 years in which Mr. Rea was associated with it. He began as a rodman in 1871, at a time when the Penn road had hardly outgrown its original (1846) charter which provided that it should extend from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh.

He planned a bridge across the Hudson from Jersey City...
...when lines, transformers, and generators, or switches and similar apparatus are put into service, it is almost safe to predict that they will operate indefinitely without electrical break-down, unless the insulation is damaged by some abnormal electrical surge such as lightning strokes, or high voltages induced in the system by short circuits, or arcing grounds. With underground cables, however, the situation is entirely different. In the first place, it is not permissible to carry high-voltage lines into the centers of population because of the danger. Therefore, it becomes necessary to use underground cables. The ordinary high-voltage underground...
...present time, there does not seem to be any method for determining from preliminary test whether a cable will stand up in service or not. In other words, the cable is the weakest link in the modern power system. Moreover, cables have not been designed to operate on voltages commensurate with those employed for overhead lines...
