Electricity For The Islands

THE enormous benefits and advantages to be derived from an electricity supply do not require enumerating; and when that supply comes to you free, it is a further advantage. There are many isolated plantations, mining communities,

etc., throughout the Islands where the presence of a stream can be exploited to produce sufficient electricity to meet requirements, the only outlay being the initial cost of the necessary plant. There are practically no runn’ng costs.

A small “A.E.G.” Hydro-Electric Set that has achieved marked success in many countries is announced in this issue of the “Pacific Islands Monthly.” The unit works on the turbine system and is a simple and robustly constructed machine, to which little can happen, even when in the care of the unskilled. It is supplied completely as sembled, needing merely to be mounted on two girders’, and thereafte’r requires very little atten tion or inspection. The many Islands residents to whom this plant should be of interest may obtain further particulars from Herbert Del Cott Pty. Ltd., Castlereagh St., Sydney, who are the Australian Agents. * * *
