So far as we know, the Sprague Works of the General Electric Company are the only manufacturers that have taken any action on this point. They have prepared a bulletin showing a panelboard with sond neutral, an illustration of which is shown on page 35, and on this page a present style of panelboard with the double fuses is shown. The saving in cost is distinct, and in large buildings will constitute quite an item.

The Committee recommends that members bring this construction to the attention of architects and wiring contractors, Each installation will need special approval by the inspection authorities, just as the first installations with grounded neutral contravened the Code, and could be made only by special permission.

Comittee believes, however, that must inspection es will approve the construction with solid neutral when is properly laid before t'em, and that the result will I sang to f'e ultimate consumer, resulting in a use of our service.
