Committee on Recent Economic Changes
ESTERDAX the rumble, creak, and plod of cart and
oxen. To-day and to-morrow the zoom of airplanes. Faster
production. Faster consumption. Faster communication.
Significant of electricity's part in the modern speeding-up
process is the fact that during the last seven years, con-
sumption of electric power increased three and one-half
times as fast as population.
General Electric and its subsidiaries have developed and
built much of the larger apparatus that generates this power
as well as the apparatus which utilizes it in industry and in
the home.
The college-trained men who come every year to General
Electric take a responsible part in the planning, production,
and distribution of electric products, and at the same time
receive further technical or business training. N *
