CA. 6258 Evenings: TO. 6-8959 UNDER THE STREETS .0.100,000 HORSES From one Detroit Edison power plant there stretches underground for seven and one-half miles into the heart of industrial Detroit a seven-inch steel pipe. In this pipe, around a cable made up of three copper wires the size of your thumb, nitrogen gas is compressed at 200 pounds per square inch. Through this cable, night and day, flows 100,000 horsepower. It is the only instance where the total output of one generator is carried in a single high-voltage cable to a center of electrical use miles away. There is nothing else like it in the world. The pipe protects the cable from outside damage. The gas pressure keeps the 120,000 volts from destroying the cable insulation. So rugged and reliable is this transmission system that no alternate stand-by cable facilities are necessary. The loss of power over the seven-and-one-half-mile course is less than one per cent. Construction of this cable was a job of Detroit Edison pioneering. It is known in the industry as the "SMD" cable because, particularly, it was an accomplishment that is credited to Samuel M. Dean, chief engineer of the system. It was another Edison FIRST brought about by constant devotion to the task of giving Edison customers dependable electric service at low cost.
