BIKBKR, C-.IU. Installation
this summer of new lumber
mills Is more than doubling Big
Valley's demand for electric
power. To meet the need for
more current and also to take
care of abrupt lnoreasea and de
creases in the "losd," the Pa
cific Gas and Electric company
has built at a cost of $9,000 and
just put Into service an auto

The orders are filled Instantly.

output Is rained or lowered as
the case may be.
"They are sawing a log at

he opeued a regulator and re

the saw starts a cut, its motor

as each cut la finished and lu

instantly knows It and drops the
voltage.'
The regulators are set to
maintain an average voltage ot
