Supplying dependable electric service to railroad signals is but
one example of the important part the power grid plays in
national defense. All along the 42,000 miles of electrically
controlled tracks new factories are springing up, established
plants are working overtime on defense orders. These indus
tries, whether large or small, are getting all the electric power
they need, when they need it. The network of transmission lines
can bring power from many different sources to supply the
abnormal needs of any area.

Because private power systems have always built ahead of
actual demand, there is plenty of reserve capacity for use in
national defense. America today has four and one-half times
the electric generating capacity it had in 1917 . . . or three times
as much power as Germany and Italy combined.
