Excerpt from Instructions for Testing Electrical Apparatus This book is intended to give a general outline of the methods and precautions to be followed in test. Every one making tests must become familiar with its contents, and will be held re sponsible for carrying out tests in accordance with the methods and regulations outlined. If, after reading the description of any test, the tester is doubtful about specific points, he should refer the matter to the Head, or Assistant Head of the Section for further instructions before undertaking the work. Instructions regarding wiring, starting, and operating machines as given in this book must be followed out carefully and conscientiously, and under no circumstances will deviations be allowed unless permission has been first received from those in authority. The importance of carefulness must be realized at the outset, since practically all accidents likely to happen to men or apparatus are due to carelessness or lack of appreciation of operating conditions. The Company does not hold itself responsible for such accidents, and any man doing careless work, or taking any risks that may have serious results, renders him self liable to discharge. No one must handle any wiring, connect or operate any switchboard or apparatus unless he is entirely familiar with all the conditions having refer ence to the test. In addition to being thoroughly familiar with the contents of this book, every one is expected to keep himself informed regarding instructions that are issued from time to time by the Heads of the Testing Department. Such instructions are posted, when issued, on the various section and general bulletin boards provided for that purpose.
