Abstract
THE Victoria Falls and Transvaal Power Company has recently completed a very successful hydroelectric scheme at the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. About thirty years age a proposal for supplying the Rand with power from the Victoria Falls was projected. The overhead transmission line was to be 700 miles long and the pressure 150,000 volts. Although owing to technical difficulties this project ocould not be realized at that time, yet the Power Company retained its right to develop the power at the Falls, so that if methods of transmission were improved and doveloped it might become commercially feasible at a later date. The scheme that has just been completed is the first outcome of that arrangement. It is especially interesting owing to the fact that it is completely automatic.
