1920-1929

The 1920's saw an expansion into the load break switch market with both vault and overhead style oil switches to 6kV, 200A. Switching tables became popular for transformer vault connections. Automatic transfer capabilities were introduced. Pothead ratings expanded to 75kV systems. Increased business necessitated a move to larger manufacturing facilities at 7780 Dante Avenue in Chicago. The company added an aluminum and brass foundry in 1926.
