Abstract :
This paper deals with the subject from the stand-point of the public utility and the application of the electrical equipment in the mills, outlining the past and present practise with forecasts of the practises and developments of the future. Brief discussions are included of the advantages and disadvantages of purchased power over generated power and of the individual drive over the group drive. Statistical data are given on the percentage of the total spindles now operated on electric drive in the Southeast as well as the range of horse power requirement of various textile machinery and the cost per spindle for electrifying mills on various cotton produtcts.
