Folks,
I got this link today through the Phono-L digest. I was frankly amazed that any DC was being supplied anywhere. Other than electric traction I thought DC transmission was a thing of the past.
A/C But No D/C: Last Con Edison Direct Current Customer Is History
I always enjoy reading about those odd anachronisms that still survive here and there. Sadly you often hear about them when they are being killed off, yet occasionally you read about some group fighting to save them. They are wonderful bits of our history and they should be preserved where-ever possible.
Regards,
J.
