  • Abstract
    THE large number of similar high-capacity hydroelectric generating units in the power plants of the Saguenay system have afforded an unusual opportunity to effect improvements in efficiency, reliability, and output of such units. Well organized operating records, thorough engineering studies and experimentation, and farsighted management all have contributed to this result.
