Hence when Miss Seaver, one rainy evening, stepped out of her home in the E a st Sixties and hailed a cab, she did so list lessly, thinking it and many others would m erely pass by. To her vast su rp rise, the cab drew up to the curb. No sooner had the elated Miss S eaver seated herself than the d riv e r looked back and inquired: “ You a ballet d a n c e r? ” Miss Seaver, no end puzzled, replied that she was and was bound for the theater. With her answ er, the d riv er swung into high and passed through two red lights with all the ease of the daring young m an on the you know what.

The high-voltage lines had to be worked “ hot"— with deadly charges o f electricity pouring through continuously— because to “cut" the lines would interrupt production. The entire operation, minute by minute, was laid out on paper by a PGF. engineering "general staff." Then a “ task force" o f experienced PGE linemen and groundmen went to work with “hot-line tools,” which have insulated handles 6t feet long. They built special working structures high into the air, and worked steadily through the day moving a high-tension line on the cross-arms; lowering other high- tension lines; installing an “alley arm” on the pole; raising a new 57,000-volt line; installing a switch; guying the pole against new strains; stringing and pulling taut the new copper; clamping a “ tap” in place, and energizing the new circuit. All this was done without an instant's interruption to the shipyard's war-work. Both in war and in postwar—there is no substitute for “ know-how."
