Abstract :
The paper is complementary to the survey paper by Irving, presented to the Institution in May, 1955. It attempts to present a picture of the generation and main transmission plant and equipment which existed in London on the 1st April, 1948, and briefly describes new plant and equipment commissioned and planned since that date. The paper shows the economies which have resulted from bringing together under one control the power stations in the London area. Reference is also made to fuel supplies, ash disposal, atmospheric pollution and general administrative matters.
