POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

INTRODUCTION

By NATHAN CLIFFOED GEOVER 1

For countless centuries man was the principal source of motive power for practically all purposes. He was ably assisted in certain activities by the lower animals the beasts of burden that have served especially in transportation and agriculture. The changeable and fitful wind was also long utilized, especially for pumping water and propelling ships. Small water-power plants were developed and used for sawing lumber, grinding grain, carding wool, weaving cloth, and other small industrial processes. But the universal supply of energy for productive work was furnished by human beings, fre­ quently by slaves, and so long as this condition prevailed the human race was able to produce only the bare necessities of life, and famine was forever stalking in the background of existence.

Since the invention of the steam engine the burden of the world's work has gradually been lifted from the backs of men and placed on machines driven by power generated by the burning of fuels. Not, however, until energy had been made mobile by means of electric transmission was the possibility of man's emancipation from the treadmill of drudgery realized. He must, of course, continue to labor, but he is now the operator of machines instead of being the primary source of power.

With the "horsepower" of the water Or steam driven engine to aid him, man's capacity to accomplish has been greatly increased, and as a result the human race can now produce not only the neces­ sities of life but the remarkably varied luxuries of the present day. Because of the availability of cheap mechanical and electrical energy every person in this country has to-day the equivalent of about 60 servants in constant attendance in supplying food, clothing, and shelter of a kind that would have been the envy of kings a century ago; in furnishing easy transportation by palatial steamships, byrailway trains consisting of sleeping, dining, club, and observation_________________________________i_______

cars equipped with every convenience for the comfort of the traveler by automobiles for business and pleasure, and in the immediate future by the airship with its possibilities for both comfort and speed; and in promoting rapid communication by mail, telegraph, telephone, and the radio. Under these new conditions, even with a greatly increased population, the civilized world is practically free from the danger of famine.

The necessities, conveniences, and luxuries of the present genera­ tion are made available largely as the result of the utilization of cheap energy, generally electric but in part mechanical, which now dominates industry, transportation, and communication. By abridg­ ing space this mighty force has elongated time, given to everyone the possibilities of leisure and luxury, and changed not only the daily routine but the very aspect of life in both city and country.

Individuals, States, and nations are therefore vitally interested in this giant that rules the modern world. What are the national sources in cheap energy, how are they being utilized, and what are the limits of development? Fortunately the United States has been endowed by nature with great resources in water power, that source of energy which is not depleted by use, as well as with enormous deposits of coal and oil, which are exhaustible. In so far as water power is used the fuels can be conserved, and wherever it is economical to do so, water power should therefore be utilized.

The problems related to the availability of our resources in power and to the development and utilization of those resources are accord­ ingly of national scope and importance, and the three reports pre­ sented herein are of vital interest to students of economics as well as to many people in all walks of life who use in some or many forms the products of mechanical and electric power. These reports show by States the Nation's resources in water power and the installed capacity of water-power plants at certain dates since 1849; the utilization and growth in utilization of energy in the various lines of human activity; the monthly output of electric energy by public- utility plants since 1919, the proportions of this output furnished by water power and by fuels, the consumption of fuels in producing this power, and the decreasing consumption of fuel per unit of power developed. They constitute therefore a compilation of information not to be found elsewhere concerning the growth of the power business in connection with many kinds of human endeavor, and they show the remarkable development of the power business since the electric transmission of power was made practicable and the trend toward the utilization of large central power stations of great capacity and high efficiency operated by public-utility companies that have been created under State control to generate, transmit, and sell power as a commodity.

INTRODUCTION 6

The information contained in the report has been collected in part by the Geological Survey in connection with its activities in studying the water resources of the country and their best utilization, in part by the Bureau of the Census in its periodic statistical study of the country's activities, and in part by the Federal Power Commission in connection with the administration of the Federal water-power act. Some of the data have therefore been previously published in scattered statistical form, and some have been made-available in multigraphed or mimeographed preliminary reports; but some have never before been published. All these statistics are now brought together in such form as to be available for further study and any other use that may be found to be desirable. They will serve as base data on which must rest any future study in this country of the problems of power utilization in relation to economics and government.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT IN THE UNITED STATES

By CABROLL ROOP DAUGHEBTT

PBEFATOBY NOTE

In the academic year of 1924-25 it was the writer's good fortune to be one of a seminar group at the University of Pennsylvania which was studying the mineral and power resources and industries of the United States under the direction of Mr. F. G. Tryon, then chief coal statistician of the United States Geological Survey. The study of horsepower equipment as an index of the instaHation of machinery seemed to be a particularly appealing statistical problem, the mastering: of which promised to be productive of interesting results. The findings in sum­ mary which were forthcoming after the year's work so fully justified this expecta­ tion that it seemed wise to enlarge the scope of the study and develop it, if possible, into a doctor's dissertation, in the hope of throwing light on a subject- of broad interest among economists.

At all stages in the development of the thesis Mr. Tryon's suggestions and advice have been of valuable assistance. Acknowledgment is especially made to him for his unfailing interest, inspirational guidance, and kindly criticism. His intimate knowledge of the field made possible the use of many different kinds of source material.

The writer is indebted also to Mr. C. D. Kinsman, agricultural engineer, of the United States Department of Agriculture, for suggestions and material in connection with horsepower in agriculture and work animate. Mr. Kinsman has recently made an exhaustive and scholarly analysis of power used on farms in this country. His findings were used almost in toto.

Acknowledgment is made to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and to the Bureau of Statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commission for data furnished in their respective fields. In the preparation of the manuscript valuable suggestions and criticism were offered by Dr. J. H. Willits, Dr. A. H, Williams, Dr. B. T. Bye, Dr. Walter Voskuil, and Miss Anne Bezanaon, all of the University of Pennsylvania faculty.

INTRODUCTION

The United States of America undeniably leads the world in the production of wealth in material prosperity. Especially has this been true since the World War. The other nations of the world, particularly the European industrial countries, have by contrast appeared to be in a sad plight. Unemployment, labor troubles, and financial difficulties have hampered the industries of England, France, and Germany, but on this side of the water there has been a relatively smooth flow, in huge volume, of goods for the satisfaction of myriad wants.

11

Page 14: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

12 POWEK CAPACITY AND PKODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

Naturally this unprecedented prosperity has attracted a great deal of attention both at home and abroad, and all thinking people have asked themselves the reason for it. To what cause or causes may it be attributed? From England two engineers were sent to study and analyze the situation. The recent book of one of our greatest indus­ trialists telling the how and the why of our success is said to be selling very widely in Europe. And the fact that for the last year almost every good periodical and newspaper has devoted large amounts of space to the subject, in the form of articles or reports of industrial congresses and conferences, is evidence of a widespread interest in this country as well. The topic has appeared frequently on the editorial pages of newspapers.

All these discussions are much alike. They point out that the production of wealth has increased more rapidly than the population. There is therefore more wealth per inhabitant than before. As a reason for this increase is advanced the fact that more machinery is being used to-day in production; human labor is being supplanted by mechanical devices.

In the 50 years from 1869 to 1919 the population of the United States increased 2.76 times. In spite of the shift in population from the country to the city, so that only one-quarter of those in gainful occupations were employed in agriculture in 1919, while nearly one-half were so engaged in 1869, the agricultural production increased 4.94 times, or 80 per cent more rapidly than the population. During the same 50 years the products of mines increased 18.81 times, or nearly seven times more rapidly than the population. The manufactured products increased 9.61 times, or about 3.5 times more rapidly than the population. While many factors contributed to these increased outputs, the most important factor is undoubtedly the increased production and utilization of mechanical power by machinery. To-day the drudgery of the struggle for existence has largely been transferred to machinery vitalized by mechanical power, thus making universal education possible by sparing youth from the farm and the factory.1

And again,All this power increases output and decreases sweat. While we have increased

our manufacturing employees 65 per cent in the last quarter of a century, we have swelled productivity on a quantity basis in the neighborhood of 170 per cent. Our farms produce 37 per cent more with about 20 per cent more farmers; our railways carry about 170 per cent more traffic with 61 per cent more men. And with all we have in 25 years decreased the weekly hours of labor by about 9 per cent, while real wages have increased 40 or 50 per cent. The terrors of un­ employment have been lessened.2

These statements reflect the general belief and attitude on the subject. It is undoubtedly true that more machinery and more power are at the service of the people of the United States than ever before; but there has never, it is believed, been a complete survey or

exact measurement of these mechanical devices which are so greatly increasing our per capita output.

It is manifestly impossible, or at least impracticable, to make a census of the machines themselves. They change and become obso­ lete too rapidly, and they can not be reduced to any satisfactory common unit. But there is one way whereby an index of the instal­ lation of machinery may be obtained by ascertaining the total horsepower of the engines that drive the different kinds of machinery. The engines may be of many different types, but their ability to oper­ ate machines may be expressed in terms of a single unit, the horse­ power. The amount of mechanization of industry as a whole or of any one industry over a period of time may be judged by the horse­ power capacity of the engines installed to drive the machinery in relation to the number of employees. If the total horsepower of the country's engines is appreciably greater now than it was 10 years ago, it may be said that there has been an increase in machinery installed. It is recognized that improvements in the technique of production or in transmission mechanism may increase the amount of machinery which can be operated by the same amount of horsepower. Never­ theless, it is believed that this difference is not large enough to impair the use of total horsepower as an index of the relative amounts of machinery in use over a period of years. Moreover, horsepower is the only index that can be used at the present time.

The aggregate horsepower of engines or motors, then, is roughly indicative of the amount of machinery installed and will be indicated by the term "horsepower equipment." It is figured only on engines that are properly designated "prime movers." A prime mover may be defined as an engine that utilizes the potential energy from some natural source (such as coal, wood, petroleum, or water) and converts it into the energy of motion. Thus steam engines and turbines, internal-combustion engines, and water wheels and turbines are prime movers. Electric motors, however, are not classified as prime movers because they do not utilize the original source of energy. They are run by electricity generated in dynamos, after the dynamos are set in motion by some prime mover.3

The purpose of this study is to present statistics of horsepower equipment as nearly as possible complete for all fields of productive activity in the United States. These statistics cover nine separate years spread over a period of seven and one-half decades, from 1849 to 1923. Naturally the censuses of the more recent years have yielded more exact information; there was less need for estimating for 1909, 1919, and 1923 than for the earlier year^.

* In dealing with manufactures alone the United States Census treats the horsepower of motors driven by purchased electricity as "primary power," because for the purposes of the census of manufactures such power is in the same category as that obtained directly from prime movers.

Page 16: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

14 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

This is not the first attempt to show the amount of horsepower equipment installed in certain fields,4 nor is it the first time that an effort has been made to estimate the total amount existing in the country.6 But it is believed that no information has yet been made available which is the result of a careful, thorough survey and anal­ ysis of all the primary horsepower equipment existing in all the chief fields of productive activity over a period of years.

In the present survey the equipment was apportioned among 10 fields of activity. For each census year horsepower data were gath­ ered for manufactures, mines and quarries, agriculture, irrigation and drainage, electric central stations, electric railroads, steam rail* roads, ships, automobiles, and work animals not on farms. This apportionment made it possible to notice the trend in the use of equipment in any one field of endeavor and to determine the relative rank of any field at any one time.

The equipment was further classified, for the country as a whole and for each of the above-mentioned fields of activity, as to type of prime mover steam, internal combustion, and water. Purchased electricity was also recorded for certain fields in which it stands in the same category as primary power, but the duplication thus in­ volved was eliminated in computing the totals for the whole country. This classification made possible an analysis of the distribution and importance of the several types of prime movers at any one time and of the trend throughout the 75-year period.

Still another classification divjded the equipment into three larger groups "manufactures," including the horsepower in manufactures and that portion of electric central station equipment which is used for light and heat by consumers; "materials" (and food), including the horsepower in mines and quarries, agriculture, and irrigation and drainage; and "transportation," including the horsepower in electric and steam railroads, ships, automobiles, and work animals not on farms. '' Manufactures'' and'' materials'' were then combined for the sake of comparing equipment used to produce "form utilities" with that employed for the production of "place utilities." "Form utilities" are products which are changed in shape or form by the use of power. "Place utilities" are products which have value added to them by transportation. A further division of transporta­ tion horsepower was made in order to distinguish between "light" and "heavy" types, electric and steam railroads and ships being included under the latter and automobiles and work animals not on farms under the former. Finally, in order to portray the growth of

DEVELOPMENT OF HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 15

electric equipment, the horsepower of electric central stations, of electric railroads, and of motors used in manufactures and mines to generate their own power was summed up in one group.

These statistics are presented for the 9 years in the 75-year perio4 not only for the United States as a whole, but, as far as possible, for each of the 48 States and the District of Columbia and for each of the. 9 major geographic districts into which the country is divided. This analysis discloses the growth of the different fields of activj$v- over the several sections of the country.

This survey is primarily statistical. No effort is made to employ- the different indices of horsepower equipment in any particular way^ but a number of uses at once suggest themselves to the student. Some of these are pointed out on pages 36-42, but the actual develop-, ment is left to subsequent studies.

It should be constantly borne in mind that the statistics here, presented show horsepower equipment, not horsepower produced . that is, they show capacity, not use. None of the equipment is, used 24 hours of every day. On the contrary, most of it is in use only a small fraction [of the time. The figures, therefore, are an. indication of what couljd have been, not a record of what was. This, idea of the "use factor^" as it is called, will be more fully developed; in the following text, }>ut it should be remembered throughout the. discussion.

SOURCES A|ND ACCURACY OF THE DATA

Inasmuch as the ana of this study is chiefly statistical that ls,( , to present data of horsepower equipment that may be used by the student of economics the sources of the material and the method of obtaining the results sljiould first be indicated. The data for certain years are more accurate and reliable than those for others, as explained in detail below. Facts) of this nature will aid in the use of the statis­ tics and in an evaluation of the results.

The totals for the tinted States are made up of statistics procure^ for each of 10 fields o^ activity manufactures, mines and quarries, agriculture, irrigation ^nd drainage, electric central stations, electric railroads, steam railroads, ships, automobiles, and work animals not, on farms. The horsepower equipment in each one of these fields is engaged in some sort oi productive activity. The last two, however^ deserve special mention.

The field of automobiles is made up of passenger cars, motor cycles, and trucks. In 1923 the motor bus had not yet become an important factor in transportation, and the busses in use were generally in­ cluded with passenger cars in registration figures.8 Obviously the

16 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

productive activities of passenger automobiles and motor cycles are as a whole very slight; it is only trucks that are used primarily for producing "place utilities" in goods to be consumed. The other cars are used chiefly for pleasure, as consumer's goods. Therefore, it has seemed wise to present figures bothdncluding pleasure cars and excluding them wherever their inclusion might distort the result and convey a false impression regarding the amount of equipment actually used in production.

Work animals not on farms were classed separately because it was impossible to apportion them among the other fields. Undoubt­ edly many are used in mines and others for general hauling.

In each field the total amount of horsepower equipment for each year was apportioned, so far as possible, among the different types of prime movers steam engines, internal-combustion engines, water wheels, windmills, and work animals and also purchased electricity, which is equivalent to primary power to the field using it. These details of prime-mover equipment in each field (exclusive of the purchased electricity, which would involve duplication) were then added to form totals for the country as a whole.

The data presented for the field of manufactures were obtained from the census reports, beginning with the year 1870. These volumes contain power figures for the United States as a whole and by States and for certain individual industries. Since 1920 the census of manufactures has been taken biennially. Not only are totals given, but also the amount of power installed by types of prime movers. There are no census figures of power for the years 1849 and 1859, and those here presented are pure estimates arrived at by plotting the increases of later decades and by extrapolation from the curve thus obtained, as well as by a consideration of other items that are reported for those years, such as number of employees and value of product. The data for 1849 and 1859 have thus less claim to accuracy than those for the later years; they are included as being of historical interest and indicating the small amount of power employed before the Civil War.

In the field of mines and quarries the census reports were again the source of material. No power analyses relating to this field are available for years before 1902. For these early years the data are scattered and incomplete. Figures for 1899 were based on the report for 1902, and those for the earlier years were estimated on the basis of the scattered material available and by extrapolation.

The material given for the field of agriculture was taken from an exhaustive study and analysis of power equipment used on farms made recently by C. D. Kinsman, agricultural engineer, of the United States Department of Agriculture.7 Kinsman presents power sta-

tistics for the country is detailed in that he

as a whole from 1849 to 1924. His analysis gives power equipment by types of prime

movers as well as totals. He does not, however, offer data for separ­ ate States except for 1924, and the State figures included in the pres­ ent study are estimated from the total for the country on the basis of improved farm acreige in each State, figures of which are avail­ able in the decennial relports of the census from 1850 to 1920. This basis seems to be morfe closely related to horsepower than merely all land in farms, inasmuch as power equipment is used almost wholly on land that is in crops or pasture. Improved acreage is of course not entirely indicative of the use of power as among States, for in some sections of the country certain types of farm activity are carried on which undoubtedly [require a larger power installation than those of other sections. Nevertheless, it is believed that such discrepancy is not great enough to invalidate the results.

The census report fyr 1920 on irrigation and drainage contains data which give the equipment of pumping stations in this field for 1909 and 1919, botjh for the country as a whole and by States. These horsepower figuites, however, are not separated according to

* types of prime movers^ Effort was made to obtain such separate figures by correspondence with the Department of Agriculture, but they were not available. As the total amount is relatively small, an arbitrary separation wis made so as to aid in forming the United States total for power lf>y types of prime movers. The data for the years before 1909, are estimates based on the increase between 1909 and 1919 and correlated as far as possible with the census figures showing the acreage of land irrigated or drained.

In the fields of electrjic central stations and electric railroads total horsepower equipment! and equipment by types of prime movers are given in the special census reports of 1902, 1907, 1912, 1917, and 1922. Figures for 189J9, 1909, 1919, and 1923 were obtained by plotting the data given and then by extrapolation and interpolation, for the country as a \^hole and for the several States. No horse­ power statistics are available for the years before 1902, but the num­ ber of electric central stations is given as far back as 1881; from these a power factor per central station was obtained and used in esti­ mating power equipment for 1889 and 1899, to check the results obtained by extrapolation. A similar check was applied in the field of electric railroads by using the data given regarding number of companies, miles of I track, and number of employees.* Figures for the electrified divisions and tunnels of steam railroads are avail­ able in the later reportjs; these were included with electric railroads for 1909, 1919, and 19J23. All material for the separate States in these two fields were obtained in the same way.

Page 20: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

18 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

The statistics presented for the horsepower equipment of steam* railroads for 1909, 1919, and 1923 are based on material issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission, giving average number of loco­ motives in service as far back as 1890 and average pounds of tractive force as far back as 1903. These two sets of figures for 1909,1919, and 1923 were multiplied, the result expressing total tractive force in. pounds for locomotives in those years. Horsepower figures are not given in the statistical reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission^ inasmuch as horsepower varies with the speed of the locomotive. A formula supplied by the Commission's Bureau of Locomotive Inspec- tion, however, was used to convert tractive force into horsepower. This formula, which assumes the average speed of all locomotives to-

Tx 11 be 11 miles an hour, is > where T is the tractive force in poundsOiO

The horsepower equipment on steam railroads for the years 1849,. 1859, 1869, 1879, 1889, and 1899 was estimated as follows: Poor's- "Manual of railroads" gives the number of locomotives back to 1877 and track mileage back to the beginning of construction. An aver­ age factor was obtained expressing the relationship, between these two- items. This factor was applied to the track mileage for the early decades, as it was fairly constant over a period of years and it was- assumed to be applicable as far back as 1849. The number of loco­ motives having thus been estimated, the average tractive force for the same years was computed by means of the formula given in the- handbooks issued by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, namelyC2 x S x P ^ t where C equals the diameter of the cylinder in inches,.

S is the stroke of the piston in inches, P the mean effective boiler- pressure in pounds, and D the diameter of the drive wheels in inches. A number of books were read in order to get these dimensions in early locomotives representative of their time. The figures for trac­ tive force thus obtained were then converted into horsepower by means of the first formula given above. It was found impossible to- estimate steam-railroad horsepower equipment by States. No data are available giving number of locomotives or ton-miles of freight for each State, inasmuch as most lines operate in more than one State. Track mileage per State was considered unsuitable as a basis for estimates, because it fails to indicate heaviness of traffic that is,, the amount of power used in different sections of the country varies widely over similar lengths of track, owing to differences in the density of traffic and in grade of road bed.

Horsepower figures for vessels engaged in river, canal, lake, and coastwise transportation were tabulated from statistics contained in. the annual list of merchant vessels compiled by the Bureau of Navi­ gation of the Department of Commerce. The figures in the lists for

Page 21: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPMENT Otf HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 19

1909 and 1919 were added, giving totals for horsepower and gross tonnage. Separate statistics if or vessels using steam and internal- combustion engines wore not obtainable before 1915. A horsepower factor per gross ton for each of these types of vessels, however, was worked out for 1919 jmd 192£. For 1909 a horsepower factor per "gross ton of all vessels was used, and as horsepower data were very incomplete for vessels before 1910 it was assumed that the same factor was applicable bo the earlier years. These factors were then applied to figures of gzoss tonnage, obtained from the annual reports of the Commissioner o ' Navigation, for the United States as a whole tack to 1849 and for States back to 1889, thus yielding data for horse­ power equipment in tils field.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty was experienced in obtaining trust­ worthy estimates of lorsepoiwer equipment in the field of auto­ mobiles. Two items were necessary the number of passenger cars, motorcycles, and trucls for the four years covered (1899, 1909, 1919, and 1923), and the average horsepower of these vehicles. The first item was obtained as follows: Total figures of registration from 1895 to 1923 were given in the 1924 issue of "Facts and figure! of the automotive industry," published by the National Automobile Cham­ ber of Commerce. Ttiese were checked by similar data furnished by the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture, and by the statistical issues of the magazine Motor. Unfortunately, no one of these sources gave any indication of separate registration by passenger cars, motor cycles, and trucks for the years before 1914. Figures for production^ of passenger cars and trucks, however, were available as far back jas 1899, and an approximation of correctness was effected by applying to the registration for the early years the ratio of such production to total registration for the later years. The second essential item, the horsepower average to be applied to the mumber of vehicles, was found in this fashion: At first it was thought that the figures of hoj'sepower published by Automotive Industries would be adequate, but it was discovered that many of these figures, which represent "rated" horsepower and are used only for purposes of taxation, were mucifi lower than the actual horsepower capable of being developed in automobile engines, known as "brake" horse­ power. Data for computing "brake" horsepower were then ob­ tained in two ways bjy writing to the leading car and truck manu­ facturers of the country in order to ascertain the horsepower of all old and recent models, and by consulting the engine specifications of cars in the statistical issues of Motor for the years 1910, 1020, and 1924. The final problem was to give due weight, as far as pos­ sible, to the horsepower of the different types of cars. Most weight naturally belonged to bhe cars that were most numerous. Study of volumes of production given;in Motor led to the conclusion that

Page 22: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

20 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

about half of the automobiles represented in the registration figures were Fords and that the other half was made up in general of three types of cars the high-priced, luxury car, of which there were fewest in use; the middle-class, medium-priced car; and the most used, low-priced car. An average horsepower figure was struck for each group. The first was weighted 1, the second 3, and the third 5. The weighted mean then obtained was applied to the other half of the registration total. The total horsepower obtained by this means, is believed to be fairly reliable. It is at least indicative of the enor­ mous growth in the use of this kind of transportation. Registration by States has been reported only after 1914, so that horsepower data for different sections of the country could be presented only for 19191 and 1923.

The material for work animals not on farms came from the report by C. D. Kinsman already cited. The figures are available for every year covered by the tables, but apportionment among States was. impossible.

After the data had been collected and classified for each field in. the manner just indicated, they were combined and used in a number of different ways. The amounts of horsepower equipment in th& different types of prime movers in each field were summed up hi order to show their relative importance and rates of increase for the country as a whole. The figures thus obtained indicated what kinds of energy were being most used in any one decade and dis­ closed any changes in their relative proportions. There is much concern at present as to the past importance and the probable future significance of coal and fuel oils compared with such other sources of energy as water and wind. It is hoped that the analysis discussed above throws some light on this question.

The amounts of equipment in each field were combined for each, decade in larger groups, chiefly for the purpose of comparing power used in the different types of industry manufacturing, mining, and agriculture with that 1 used in transportation.

It is believed that the chief value of the statistics presented in this study will be to show that horsepower equipment has increased more rapidly than population or number of wage earners in other words, that there has been a steady growth in the horsepower equip­ ment per capita and per wage earner over the entire 75-year period, both for the country as a whole and for those fields of activity in which number of wage -earners can be separately ascertained. An index of this increase may then be used for comparison with indices- for other ratios, such as volume of production per wage earner or amount of wages per wage earner.

The population and total number of wage earners in the country were obtained from the census reports for each year except 1923 and

Page 23: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPMENT OF HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 21

compared with total horsepower by means of index numbers. The figures for 1923 are estimated on the basis of past growth and on the basis of a similar estimate made by the National Electric Light Association. Number^ of wage earners were ascertained for 7 of the 10 fields of activity joaanufactures, mines and quarries, agriculture, electric central station^, electric railroads, steam railroads, and ships. The data on manufactures for the whole period are obtainable in the census reports on manufactures. Those on mines and quarries come from census reports oji occupations up to and including 1919; the figure for 1923 is estimated from past growth, no other complete sources being available. The material in the column of agriculture is taken from the work of Kinsman. The number of wage earners in electric central stations and electric railroads was determined from material in the special census reports by extrapolation and inter­ polation. The statistics issued by the Interstate Commerce Com­ mission give for each year the number of wage earners on steam rail­ roads. The census reports on occupations furnish the basis for the statistics of wage earners on, ships up to and including 1919, and the figure for 1923 is an estimate based on past growth and compared with tonnage.

In general the accuracy of the statistics presented in this study increases with each successive decade. The data for the early years are almost wholly estimated, but it is believed that the estimates are supported by bases accurate enough to lend a degree of authenticity to them. Census taking in the later years has become m'ore efficient and more inclusive, and consequently the most accurate figures are those for 1909 and 1919. Estimates had to be made in certain fields for 1923, as 1920 wasj the most recent census year, but these esti­ mates are relatively reliable because their bases come from recent

The latest year for which accurate statisticstrustworthy sources. are available in most o the 10 fields of activity is 1923, and for thatreason the study has [ not been extended into more recent years. Any material presented for years later than 1923 would be almost wholly estimated from incomplete sources. There are no statistics for manufactures after 1923, for mines after 1920, for agriculture after 1924, for irrigation and drainage after 1920, for electric central stations.and electric railroads after 1922, for steam railroads after 1924, for ships after 1926, for automobiles after 1926, and for work animals not on farms after 1920.

Every effort was made to include in this survey all the horsepower equipment in the country. However, there are some items for which no data were available nor even any material that could be made the basis for a fairly accurate estimate. For example, no informa­ tion could be obtained from any source on the amount of equipment in use in the field of building and construction. De Baufre, in his

Page 24: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

22 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN TJNITED STATES

article cited above, makes an estimate of 4,000,000 horsepower in nonindustriai fields, but he does not state what is included in or formed the basis for this figure. Again, no information was available regarding the amount of equipment owned and used by hotels, office buildings, and public buildings, some of which generate their own heat and light and furnish the power for their own elevators.

On the other hand, data were obtained for some other items as set forth in the following paragraphs, but they are not included in the grand total, chiefly because they are of little or no importance in production.

There is about 700,000 horsepower in engines used for pumping in the cities of the United States. This figure was arrived at by obtaining from 10 of the largest cities the rated capacity of their pumping equipment and then applying this total so as to get the equipment of the whole urban population. The details are presented hi Table 35.

The horsepower of engines used in the airplanes of the United States Army amounted in 1925 to about 475,000. It was impossible to obtain data for commercial flying machines, as no registration is required for them.

The United States Navy commands a large horsepower equipment. In 1924 there was 11,000,000 horsepower in the navy battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, patrol vessels, auxiliaries, aircraft, and district craft.

Another place where horsepower equipment might be found is in amusement parks and similar resorts. Inquiry has elicited the fact, however, tiat most of the power used in such places is purchased, in the form of central-station electricity.

There are some small items of horsepower which are not included in the totals published in the census of manufactures. The statistics of manufactures up to and including those of 1900 took in neighbor­ hood hand and building industries, as well as factory industries, but all later censuses have embraced only the statistics on factories. In the later reports the data before 1910 have been reduced to the new basis for purposes of comparison.

On page 521 of volume 8 of the Census for 1920 is found a list of classes of establishments that were not canvassed for horsepower. Places having an annual output valued at less than $500 were not reported. No data were obtained for the various building industries architects' work, bridge building, building and construction work, carpenter shops and contracting carpenters, electric wiring and con­ struction work, excavating and well digging, masonry, brick and stone work or for moving and raising buildings, paving and laying- stone and concrete, plumbing, gas and steam fitting, roofing, or rail­ road construction.

DEVELOPMENT OF PRIME MOVERS

Two obvious but significant considerations must be remembered in the study of the phenomenal growth in the use of prime movers, First, without inventions and improvements ra prime movers, including advances mace in fuel utilization, there coujd have been no .substitution of mechanical for hand labor, with the resulting reduction in the cost of power and product. Second, inventions and improvements were necessary also in the machines that used the power, for even if power was available it could not be employed unless machines were ready. In general, however, i* is true that improve­ ments in both fields have kept pace with each other.

A few of the chief technical advances that have been made, mainly in this country, in the improvement of prime movers will be briefly set forth. The writer makes no claim to original research on this topic. The material presented is well known to'most students and is introduced to serve as a background for the ensuing discussion, No attempt will be made to cover the field suggested under the second point above.

The technical side of a discussion on horsepower equipment may be divided into two parts generation of power and transmission of

Page 26: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

24 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

power. The first deals with the making of kinetic energy out of the potential energy of natural resources such as coal, oil, and water. The second deals with devices that connect this energy of motion to machines which do man's work. The story of each of these phases falls roughly into three periods the colonial period, lasting till 1790; the period from 1790 to, 1860; the period from 1860 to the present time.

During the colonial period the industrial situation in this country was similar to that existing in England before the industrial revolu­ tion. The manufacturer was a man who owned a small mill or operated a forge, and in colonial parlance a mill meant either a grinding contrivance or any machinery operated by hand, animal, wind, or water.8 These were the chief types of power in use at that time, and they came to be employed in the order named. Hand power was first used everywhere in forges and for grinding. The utilization of animal power came next, horses and cattle being used where absence of water power, pecuniary inability, or sparseness of population made it impracticable to use power of any other type.9 Wind was used to turn the wheels of gristmills and sawmills at an early date. Windmills were found chiefly among the Dutch settlers in New York, although there were a considerable number in New England. Indeed, the first mill to be operated in that section of the country was one propelled by wind near Watertown, Mass., in 1632. 10 Most of the small colonial establishments, however, were operated by water power. The ample fall and precipitation of the Atlantic slope provided many watercourses on which power could be developed. At that time the smaller creeks and rivers of New England and the central colonies were used much more for power than now. The larger water powers were not developed till after the Revolutionary War. Small enterprises were the rule. In these mills "most of the wheels were undershot and utilized only a fraction of the waiter power applied to them. Power transmission was so little under­ stood that a separate wheel was generally necessary for each unit of machinery. The wheels and most of the mechanism were of wood. The invention of improvements by which several kinds of apparatus threshing and winnowing machines, grist and bolting mills, flax beating and cleaning machinery could be operated by a single wheel is attributed to a Connecticut mechanic [Joel Harvey], who not long before the Revolution received a prize from the London Society of Arts for his devices. Any part of the machinery could be discon- continued without impeding the rest." 11

DEVELOPMENT OF (HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 25

The steam engine wasi of no importance as a prime mover in colonial manufactures. It had only just been proved practicable and was yet in the experimental stage. Watt's engine was patented in 1769, but it did not become a really established factor in the economic life of Great Britain until the colonies had won their freedom. On this side of the water a number of men were working on production of power by steam. Jonathan Hornblower, Christopher Colles, Barna­ bas Deane, James Fitch, Henry Voight, and Oliver Evans are the names of pioneers in tiis field. The work of Evans is particularly worthy of note. It was he who first experimented successfully with the high-pressure steam engine about 1775. This type of engine was far superior to the former low-pressure devices, although it required much more cs.reful handling. The mechanical horsepower equipment used in the| colonial period was thus scarcely advanced beyond the experimental stage.

In the second period, however, up to the Civil War, the factory system of manufacture began to develop, and a number of improve­ ments were effected. At first the very fact that water power was so plentiful and inexpensive led to wastefulness in its use. Managers of enterprises chose to employ cheap water wheels rather than invest in more expensive ones which by their more economical utilization of water would have amply justified the extra cost. Until 1840, for example, wooden pitchbaick wheels were used which turned inward toward the fall, the water striking them just short of their highest point, the impact or kinetic energy of the falling water being thus lost. Eight such wheels 30 feet in diameter, with buckets 12 feet long to catch the water, constituted the power equipment of the Merrimac Co. at Lowell, Mass. 12 These wheels utilized about three-fourths of the power applied to them. This Lowell develop­ ment was typical of the way in which cotton manufacturers had been using water power ever since the initial successful use of wheels of this type for cotton manufacture in 1790 at Pawtucket Falls. 13 The larger streams were developed. A system of canals was built on the inner side of a bend in a river, enabling the running of many wheels at different levels by the same stream. The wheels were all of the overshot type.

It is believed that the introduction of the first steam-engine millat Providence, R. I., in 1830 stimulated the search for a more efficient

experimentation and resulting proof of their greater efficiency and cheapness. 14

There is some difference of opinion as to when the hydraulic turbine was first used in this country, 16 but it is safe to say that by 1845 there were two or three hi successful operation. Ten years- later hydraulic turbines had displaced most of the pitchback wheels at- Lowell and had been introduced from the first in the new factories at Lawrence. Their use add£d about one-fourth to the power utilized at these cities. 18 The introduction of the turbine was the- first step toward the modern hydraulic plant. Although invented in France, the modern turbine owes its development chiefly to- improvements made by American engineers. Turbine development, however, was forced to wait upon advances in the technique of metal working, 17

Steam engines, to the introduction of which was partly due the marked improvement in the economical utilization of water power,, were installed slowly at first. During the first third of the nineteenth century the location of factories was determined chiefly with reference to water power. But improvements in the steam engine led to their increasing use during the later half of this period.

Two general designs of engine came into early use the low-pres sure Boulton & Watt type, imported from England and also built in America, and the high-pressure type, made by Oliver Evans in Phila­ delphia, which was able to compete actively with the low-pressure engine and which was in some respects superior. The high-pressure engine was more satisfactory for use in factories, and, although it x required more fuel, was simpler to build. 18

The invention of the crank shaft by Watt in 1784 changed the reciprocating motion of the engine piston to the rotary motion of a shaft, and the use of all the expanding power of steam in triple- expansion engines is another outstanding improvement in this period. But perhaps.the greatest advance, so far as factory use is concerned, was that made in the new Corliss engine of 1849. This engine possessed a much more sensitive governor, called variously a "valve gear" or "rotary valve" or "drop cut-off," which enabled engineers not only to keep the speed of the engine much more uniform than before but to regulate the speed in accordance with the require-

George Kilburn for the Fall River plant of Robeson & Sons. He also mentions the turbine installed at the Appleton Mills, in Lowell, Mass., designed by Uriah Boyden. This 75-horsepower turbine could reach an efficiency of 8$ per cent. In 1845 another Fall River mill was equipped with a turbine. C. E. Lucke gives Boyden's 1844 engine as the first installation.

merits of the particular factory. Spindles and looms, for example, could be driven continuously at the speed required for the best type of product. In addition to affording evenness of operation, the Corliss engine permitted appreciable economies hi fuel utilization.

The third chief type of prime mover, the internal-combustion engine, was not developed to practical use during the period before the Civil War, but a great deal of experimentation was being done with the idea of moving a piston by means of expanding gases. In fact, ever since 1678, when the Abb6 de Hautefeuille used an explosion of gunpowder to drive a piston in a cylinder, men had been working on the problem.

In considering the progress made during this period, it must be remembered that the difficulty of working metal to exact dimensions retarded the development of prime movers. In the early steam engines, for example, the lever beams, the arms and shafts of the fly wheels, the bearings, and even the boilers and other parts were made of wood. Advances in engine design depended in part on improve­ ments in iron working.

It is since 1860 that the most rapid strides have been made in power development. Technical advances in subsidiary industries and new demands for power made by the growing industrialism of the country have furnished ample impetus.

One outstanding invention has appeared in the field of water power. This was the Pelton wheel, first used successfully in 1884 at the Chollar mine, in the Sierra Nevada.19

The steam turbine was the major development in steam utilization during the later half of the nineteenth century. Engineers had experimented with the idea ever since Hero, of Egypt, had made his crude toy about 100 B. C., but it had never been of practical use because of its high speed. Not until the high-speed electric generator was invented did it find extensive employment.

An .extremely interesting development of recent date is the use of mercury vapor instead of steam to operate turbines. Mercury is vaporized in a specially constructed boiler, passes thrtiugh a turbine, where it does useful work, and exhausts into a surface condenser, where its latent heat is used to make steam that drives an ordinary turbine. The condensed mercury is returned to the boiler and used again. The advantage of this system is due to the facts that mercury can be heated to a high temperature without developing excessive pressure and that the heat of condensation can be utilized for making steam at pressure desirable for use. The utmost care, however, must be exercised to prevent the escape of the highly poisonous mer­ cury vapor. A system of this type was installed in 1923 by the Hart­ ford (Conn.) Electric Light & Power Co. It is reported that the

experiment has proved highly successful and that the fuel bill has been about halved.20

The internal-combustion engine was developed about the time of the Civil War. The Lenoir motor, which marked a distinct epoch in gas-engine construction, appeared in 1860 and was the first engine of this type that performed with relative smoothness and efficiency;, but it used fuel rather wastefully. The Lenoir engine was followed in 1862 by an engine invented by Beau de Rochas, who introduced the modern system of four-cycle operation. 'This engine was placed on the market in 1878 by Otto, after whom the four-cycle idea i& sometimes named. In 1879 Clerk brought out his two-cycle engine. Both these types are used to-day, but the four-cycle engine is the prevailing type.

Many small improvements have been effected in these engines, but- there has been only one notable and significant development in the internal-combustion field since 1880 the Diesel engine, which utilizes the four-cycle principle. The chief difference of the Diesel from other internal-combustion engines- is that instead of an electric spark being used to ignite'a charge of fuel vapor, injected air is so greatly compressed in the cylinder that its heat fires the fuel, which is injected into the cylinder at the completion of compression.21 Great economies are claimed for the Diesel motor, one of which i& that heavy oils may be used to advantage.

The chief use of the internal-combustion engine has been in the province of transportation, where its advantages are obvious. It has failed to advance as a source of electric generation, mainly because to build it in the large units required in central stations has- been impossible. Diesel engines, however, are gradually being increased in size and are successfully competing with steam-driven prime movers.

Remarkable as has been the growth in the total capacity of this kind of prime mover and supreme as it is in its own field, another equally outstanding power achievement since 1860 has been the development of electricity. In many ways electricity is unsur­ passed as a form of power. The electric generator and the electric motor are, of course, not prime movers, but the current produced by one and used by the other has enabled this country to use sources- of power which otherwise would be largely untouched and to put this energy at the disposal of almost every inhabitant.

Although the relation between electricity and magnetism was dis­ covered and known in the first half of the nineteenth century, it was- not until 1870 that these principles were used in a practical way. At this time Gramme, a Belgian, produced a workable generator yield-

ing a direct, continuous current. Three years later, at a Gramme exposition in Vienna, it was accidentally discovered that a dynamo is also a motor if electric current is applied to it. This was the curious beginning of the electric power industry.

The first electric central station in the United States was the one built by Edison at New York City in 1882. The current in this and all the other early plants was used for lighting. Industrial uses were to come later. The first hydroelectric station began operation in the same year at Appleton, Wis. In 1885, at Great Banington, Mass.,, a notable advance was made in the first successful commercial use of alternating current for lighting. The year 1887 saw the first, electric street railway in this country in operation at Richmond, Va,

Most of the developments in the field of electricity, however, have been made in connection with transmission. These improvements have paved the way for what some choose to call "the second indus­ trial revolution" and have made possible the location of factories, at comparatively long distances from the sources of power. The transformer idea was contributed by Faraday about 1845, but it was of no practical use until 1888, when Tesla invented both the multiple transformer and the polyphase electric motor for alternating current of high frequency. Alternating current being far superior to direct current for transmission, the way lay open for subsequent, advances. There have been no unusual or radical changes since then merely the gradual improvements which so often follow in the wake of a great invention. The chief of these improvementa have been protection against lightning and better insulation to guard against loss of current.22

Long-distance electrical transmission of energy in the United States dates from 1893, when the polyphase system was first used for carrying a current of high voltage from the plant of the San Antonio Light & Power Co., at Pomona, Calif., to San Bernardino, a distance of about 19 miles. The original current of 1,000 volta was stepped up to 10,000 volts. This pioneer effort was followed by other plants. To California, with its ample water power in the Sierra Nevada many miles from centers of population, belongs the credit for the biggest development in electrical transmission. By 1900 a pressure of 40,000 volts had been attained. In 1909 this was increased to 110,000 volts, and in 1923 a high-tension line trans­ porting 220,000 volts was put in operation in this State.23

But there were achievements in the transmission of electric current in other sections also.24 Niagara River, although furnishing a much smaller "head" than was often found on the Pacific coast, provided a larger volume of water. Electricity generated by turbines at

Niagara Falls was transmitted 23 miles to Buffalo in 1895. Another noteworthy contemporary performance was that at Sault Ste. Marie, where a canal about 2 miles long developing a head of about 20 feet was constructed along St. Marys Falls, at the outlet of Lake Superior into Lake Huron.

Although electricity furnishes the most striking attainments in the field of transmission, the other methods of hooking up machinery to the power afforded by prime movers must not be overlooked. There are three main means of transmission.2* First, the motion of a prime mover may be carried over directly by such devices as gears, belts, sprockets, or ropes and pulleys. Second, it may be trans­ mitted over longer distances by pressure. Water, hi hydraulic mains, and air, used like steam to run engines or drills, come under this classification, The third system is not dependent on push or pull but involves a transformation of energy from a form not easily transmitted to another that is for example, electricity stepped up in voltage by means of transformers and sent over long distances and gas sent through pipes to engines.

As regards the first method, there is only the need to note that during colonial times wooden cogs and shafts were used. These were followed by metal gears, but by 1830 it was proved that belting was superior. Although gearing is most suitable under some circum­ stances, belting still remains the best means of transmitting power over short spaces. Much study on the subject has resulted in numerous improvements, perhaps inspired chiefly by the high speeds necessary for metal cutting.

The transmission of power over distances by water, air, or gas is not important industrially and is of only local significance.

CERTAIN FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

A number of interesting trends appear from a survey of the accom­ panying tables and charts. Although the chief aim of this study is the presentation of the data as a reference compilation of material ifrom a number of scattered sources, an outline of certain chief find­ ings to which the statistics point is not entirely beyond its scope.

In Table 1 and Figure 1 is shown the total horsepower of prime movers installed in the different industrial activities in this country for each census year from 1849 to 1923. From 10 millions it has grown to the astonishing total of 684 millions of horsepower, more than sixty-eight times as much. Each decade has witnessed a steady increase, but since 1899 the development has been marvelous. Before that time the increase in any 20-year period had never been much jnore tfian twofold, but in the 20 years from 1899 to 1919 the growth

Page 33: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPMENT OF HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 31

was more than sixfold. Only four years later, in 1923, the total was over ten times that for 1899.

The chief reason for this recent enormous growth is the increasingly extensive use of the internal-combustion engine in the pleasure automobile. Over 450 million horsepower, or almost two-thirds of the 1923 total, belongs to this class. This equipment is, for the most part, not really productive. . Therefore the table also presents figures for the later years which show the amount of equipment exclusive of that assignable to pleasure vehicles. Here the growth, though pronounced and rather more rapid than before 1899, is more even. The total in 1923 was about twenty-three times that in 1849 and more than three and one-half times that in 1899.

Table 1 furnishes a picture of the continual growth of the capacity of prime movers over a long period of time, gathering speed and momentum with each decade. A more detailed inquiry, however, is necessary to determine the exact nature and trend of this increase.

Table 2 shows the installed capacity of prime movers in the different industrial activities, the distribution of the total horsepower of prime movers in each census year in percentages of the yearly total among the different activities, and the relative growth of the capacity of prime movers installed in each activity. The capacity as given in this table represents the horsepower of prime movers owned by the establishments reporting them. The capacity of any prime mover is included but once and only in the activity reporting it. There is therefore no duplication of horsepower capacity in this table.

Table 3 shows the horsepower utilized in the activities given in Table 2. The figures in this table include the horsepower of owned or installed prime movers in each activity and the horsepower of electric motors or other equipment in each activity driven by pur­ chased electrical and mechanical power. This table therefore con­ tains some duplication, the amount of which may be ascertained by comparing the figures with those in Table 2 for the same activities.

It is at once apparent from an examination of these tables that there has been a remarkable increase in motor-driven vehicles. Although the automobile was in its infancy as recently as 1899, its growth has been tremendous, there being nearly sixteen thousand times as much horsepower in automobile engines in 1923 as in 1899. This remarkable increase in automobiles is due mainly to the use of the automobile for pleasure. Passenger cars and motorcycles, which may be considered as being used mainly for recreation, represent about 90 per cent of the total horsepower as well as of the total number of automobiles in 1923> (See Table 31.) This rapid increase in automobiles since 1899 so distorts comparisons of the relative amount and growth of power in other activities that figures of capacity are given with the horsepower of pleasure automobiles omitted.

The next largest increase in capacity of prime movers is in electric central stations, which show a gain from 120,000 horsepower in 1899 to 22,000,000 in 1923. Second in rank in total capacity to automo­ biles come steam locomotives, indicating the importance of railroad transportation.

Agriculture ranks third hi capacity of prune movers. Up to 1869 and later more than half of the total capacity of prime movers hi all activities was installed and utilized hi agriculture. The vast indus­ trial development hi the United States that was well under way at the beginning of the century called for so much power that prune movers in agriculture gradually became of relatively less importance hi each decade, but nevertheless the capacity of prime movers hi agriculture still holds third place.

In general, transportation activities have increased more rapidly than the activities that produce "form utilities" manufactures, mines and quarries, and agriculture.

The use of purchased power has increased rapidly, and to this development in the power field is due the rapid growth of electric central stations. A comparison of Tables 2 and 3 shows how extensive the use of purchased power has become. For example, manufactures in 1923 purchased power to operate more than 13,000,000 horsepower of electric motors, and electric railways purchased power to operate about 2,500,000 horsepower of motors. The utilization of purchased power M will probably continue to increase, as power can be produced more economically in a large central station with its high load factor resulting from large diversified load than hi small plants with the low load factors that are the rule hi such plants.

It may be interesting to compare the figures in Table 1 with a previous estimate of horsepower over a period of years, given in MulhalTs "Dictionary of statistics," page 549, 1892:

« The following figures are given in the Electrical World, Jan. 2,1926, pp. 28, 44:

The lowering in the rate of increase of lighting consumers is laid to the decrease in building operations and the approach toward saturation point; but industry is said to be far from saturated (p. 44), as it is only 65 per cent electrified, and of this 32.4 per cent comes from privately owned generating plants. In the whole manufacturing power field, therefore, the maximum potential load of the country's central stations has been only 44 per cent developed.

Some industries, of course, present an almost impossible barrier to electrification. Such are those which use coal for heat as well as for steam power for example, blast furnaces, factories making clay and glass products, oil refineries, and textile finishing mills.

In this table locomotives are arbitrarily considered as being of 300 horsepower each, and the horsepower of steamboats is considered equivalent to their tonnage. "Fixed horsepower" evidently means manufactures, as it is estimated before 1870 on the basis of "number of hands."

W. L. De Baufre (Science, Oct. 30, 1925, p. 328) estimates the grand total to be about 500,000,000 horsepower for 1925. F. R. Low (Mechanical Engineering, January, 1925, p. 2) makes an estimate of about 700,000,000 horsepower for the same year. (See p. 35.)

A second manner of analysis concerns itself with the growth of horsepower equipment among the different types of prime movers. In Table 4 (A and C) and Figure 5 it is evident that the most rapid development has taken place in internal-combustion engines. This was to be expected from what is known about the large number of automobiles in existence, but even if the capacity of pleasure cars is deducted from the total, the item of trucks is still great enough to give this type of prime mover first place in rate of increase. Steam power, which is still the country's greatest single prime mover, has developed steadily but not so rapidly as water power. Undoubtedly hydroelectric developments have caused the rapid rate of growth since 1899. Windmills have never been of much importance, although their use has gradually increased. An interesting story is told in the column showing the decreasing number of work animals since 1909. This decrease is coincident with the use of mechanical devices on farms and in transportation.

Table 4 (B) and Figure 5 picture the transition of the country from the early stage, in which animals were chiefly used to perform the work of man, to the present time, when work animals have been supplanted by machines. Nevertheless work animals still represent more horsepower than water wheels. If the item of pleasure auto­ mobiles is subtracted from the internal-combustion quota, steam power has made up over half of the total since 1889. In 1923, how­ ever, its rank was reduced by internal-combustion power, which amounted to almost one-third of the total.

Several main points of interest come to light in the presentation in Table 5 and Plate 1 of the percentage distribution of prime movers in each of the fields of activity. The increasing use of purchased

Page 36: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

34 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

electricity in manufactures and in mines and quarries is worthy of note. In agriculture work animals are still almost of first importance, being topped in 1923 only by internal-combustion equipment. Steam and purchased electricity are little used in agriculture, because they involve stationary power units, and most of the work on farms requires tractive force. Steam-driven prime movers form the chief type in electric central stations and electric-railroad power plants, although in the central stations water wheels amount to almost one- third of the total. The sailing vessel has been supplanted by the steam-driven ship ever since the Civil War. The use of internal- combustion engines for driving ships is increasing, and the horse­ power of Diesel engines used to operate ships may reach a consider­ able figure, especially if there is no pronounced increase in the cost of fuel oil.

Certain major groupings of horsepower equipment are shown in Table 6 and Figures 6 and 7. Power in the division "manufactures" has increased at a more rapid pace than in the division "materials," although the latter exceeds the former in absolute amount in every census year. But, as would be expected from the inclusion of pleasure automobiles, the division "transportation" has grown most rapidly of all. After 1899 it also exceeds the others in absolute amount. The rate of development in "manufactures and materials" shows an average of the rates of the two groups of which it is composed and is more satisfactory for comparison with the "transportation" divi­ sion, for it represents all the equipment used in producing "form utilities," whereas the equipment credited to "transportation" is used in producing "place utilities." In absolute amount the "manufac­ tures and materials" group exceeds the "transportation" group up to and including 1899, but after that "transportation" forges ahead. The increase in "manufactures and materials" from 1849 to 1923 is over eleven and one-half tunes, and from 1899 to 1923 almost, two and one-half times.

It is a striking fact that for more than 15 years so much more equipment has been installed for moving persons and goods from place to place than for making things. In so far as this difference is caused by equipment used for carrying the products of manu­ factures, mines and quarries, and agriculture, the conclusion that geographic specialization of production has gone far in this country is verified. And in so far as it is the result of equipment used for transporting persons, it may be cited as evidence supporting the con­ clusion that the citizens of this nation are enjoying unprecedented wealth and leisure, as shown especially by the figures for pleasure automobiles. (See Table 31.) Both conclusions are justified. It is interesting to speculate as to whether or not this immense amount of transportation equipment will not work toward a relocation of manufacturing industries with respect to markets and raw materials.

Page 37: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPMENT OP HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 35

A better comparison of "form utility" equipment with "place utility" equipment, however, may be obtained if the horsepower of pleasure automobiles is subtracted from the "transportation" group, which will then include only equipment that is mostly "productive" that is, equipment that transports raw materials and finished prod­ ucts or carries people engaged in production. If the figures thus obtained are compared with those for "manufactures and materials," they will still show a much more rapid rate of increase. Moreover, after 1919, "transportation" minus pleasure automobiles appreci­ ably exceeds "manufactures and materials" even in absolute amount of equipment.

Table 7 presents statistics of population and wage earners for the country as a whole and for those fields of activity for which it was possible to obtain data. Figures 8, 9, and 10 compare the index numbers of population and wage earners with index numbers of horsepower equipment. It is evident that both before and after 1899 the amount of power equipment has increased more rapidly than the number of wage earners. This means that for each inhabit­ ant and worker every successive decade has witnessed a larger installation of power.

There is another, more direct way of arriving at this conclusion. By dividing the capacity of prime movers by the number of wage earners, the amount of horsepower per wage earner may be obtained directly for each census year and index numbers constructed there­ from. This is done in Table 8 and portrayed graphically in Figure II.27 '

The amount of equipment at the command of each inhabitant and wage earner in the country and in the several fields of activity has increased steadily. The absolute amount in any field of course depends on the expenditure of effort required to produce a given result; a larger installation per wage earner would be expected in the field of steam railroads than in the field of manufactures.

» Estimates of horsepower equipment by fields and horsepower equipment per wage earner are available from other sources. F. R. Low (Mechanical Engineering, January, 1925, p. 2) gives the following figures for installed capacity in horsepower, in 1024:

" If these figures are correct, there is installed for each unit of our population prune-mover capacity §apa- ble of generating about 7 horsepower."

W. L. De Baufre (Science, Oct. 30,1925, p. 182) says: " The total of these figures [for 1919] is over 500,000,000 horsepower available for a population of 105,000,000 people, or about 5 horsepower for each man, woman, and child."

In the present study the 1919 total is 396,000,000 horsepower, and the horsepower per inhabitant 3.75.

Page 38: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

36 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

The important generalization that proceeds from a study of Table 8 is that human effort is continually being supplanted by machinery and mechanical devices operated by prime movers. The work that man has to do is being performed more and more by the machine which he makes.

Tables 9 to 20 present figures of horsepower equipment for States and geographic districts. The study of power in this manner is profitable in a number of respects. It may not tell anything par­ ticularly new about a section of the country, but it should serve to reinforce what is already known. For any one decade it will indicate the part of the country to which a certain field of activity, such as agriculture, is chiefly confined. It will also show any changes that have occurred from decade to decade. As far as possible, it will do the same thing for types of equipment. Not only are actual amounts of power shown for each State, but for 1923., in order to offset any advantages or disadvantages resulting from differences in size of States, the amount of horsepower per square mile for the total amount of primary power, for horsepower in manufactures, and for horsepower in agriculture is given by States in Table 10. Power in such States as Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Texas is thus shown in its true light as to "density" of use.

SOME USES FOB THE POWER INDEX

Certain conspicuous trends appear from the foregoing analysis. Power as a whole has increased tremendously from 1849 to 1923. Among the activities using power, manufactures and transportation have increased in relative importance while agriculture has decreased. The capacity of prime movers used to generate electric power has advanced with enormous strides since the beginning of the present century. In general, during the period of 75 years the country has changed from one that was predominantly agricultural to one whose chief interests are industrial. More detailed surveys of the types of prime movers and of the amounts of power installed in States and geographic districts serve to substantiate these chief conclusions. Furthermore, the amount of horsepower equipment has grown at a more rapid pace than the number of wage earners. In other words, the number of horsepower units installed per worker in the country has steadily increased.

Thus, as the capacity of prime movers may be considered an index of the use of machinery in production, it must^be concluded that human labor is continually being supplemented by mechanical devices. It is important, however, in any consideration of this notable trend, to bear in mind one especially significant qualification. The statistics in this study portray the rated capacity of prime movers that is, they indicate the amount of equipment which is

Page 39: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPMENT OF HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 37

available for use for 24 hours of every day, but they throw no light on the question concerning how much of the time this equipment is actually used in production. They are a record of what can be done, not of what really is done. This is a very important distinc­ tion. It is obvious that if all the primary power of manufacturing plants and mines and farms and railroads were operated to capacity every hour of every day, the resulting volume of production would dwarf any past achievements. But the fact that it is not and in the nature of things never could be so operated must be considered in any study of power equipment.

The relation that exists between capacity and actual use of prime movers is expressed by the figure called "capacity factor" or "use factor," which is the ratio of the actual output of power to that which would be produced if the prime mover were operated at full capacity during the entire period under consideration. For example, if a 20-horsepower steam engine is operated at full capacity 2,000 hours during a year, its output would be 40,000 horsepower-hours. If it were operated at full capacity the entire year, or 8,760 hours, the output would be 175,200 horsepower-hours. The ratio between the actual output and the output that could have been produced is the use or capacity factor in this case 22.8 per cent. This ratio must not be confused with "load factor," which is a somewhat different ratio. The "load factor" is the ratio between the average load and the peak load of a given capacity of prime movers that is, between the average of all demands and the greatest or highest demand made on the equipment. It is evident that the load factor may be and usually is larger than the use factor, for the peak load may not tax the prime movers to their full capacity.

It is desirable to obtain some idea regarding the use factors of equipment in the different fields of activity that have been the sub­ jects of consideration in this study. In manufactures one authority gives the use factor as about 13.7 per cent.28 Data from another source M provide the basis for the calculation of the average use factor for manufactures, mines and quarries, and Government institutions as about 20 per cent. In mines and quarries it has variously been estimated from about 14.3 .per cent for all mines to 24 per cent for anthracite mines and 12 per cent for all other mines and quarries.30

The lowest use factor among all activities but automobiles is found in agriculture. "The necessity of keeping a large primary power plant available to take care of the occasional peak loads that occur

in most types of farming results in an average load factor of only about 4 per cent." 31 Power equipment on farms is idle most of the time. This disadvantage is of course inherent in the nature of the work to be performed on farms.

In the field of electric central stations the use factor is much higher. In 1922 it was 30.9 per cent, while that of electric railroads was 24.0 per cent.32 Central-station power is called upon by its consumers, industrial or general public, more frequently and more steadily. This more even demand and the diversity of the activities supplied by central stations explain why prime movers of this activity have relatively high use factors.

Only one estimate is available regarding the use factor of railroad equipment.33 The figure, 6.8 per cent, is much lower than that given for electric railroads. -This low use factor is due to the intermittent use of steam locomotives and to the necessity for frequent inspections and repairs.

Another item of "heavy" transportation, however, was found to be much more frequently used. In general, it may be said that ships are engaged in productive work about 50 per cent of the time.34 This is a general average: many types of vessels have a use factor as high as 70 per cent, and others may be employed only 30 per cent of the tune. Much depends on the type of vessel, the rates of charter­ ing, the ports of destination, and a number of other elements.

The use factor of automobiles is said to be about 3 per cent.35 This low use factor should be kept in mind in comparing the total horsepower of automobiles with the total horsepower of pmne movers in other activities. The accuracy of the estimate is questionable, but it is certain that pleasure automobiles are used but a very small fraction of the time throughout a year, and 3 per cent is probably very close to the true figure, especially as the actual or brake horsepower is used as the capacity of automobile engines. (See p. 75.) Trucks engaged in productive carriage doubtless have a much higher use factor.

This general concept of the use factor should be taken into account in any presentation of the results and benefits of increased power installation. Low,36 after pointing out that every inhabitant in this country has at present at his command the equivalent in power of

Mills run only 40-odd hours a week; the load factor of most central stations is less than 40 per cent. * * * It is impossible, therefore, to tell how hard our mechanical slaves are working or how many horse­ power-hours of actual service are actually produced by them per year."

It is important to note also that over a period of years the capacity factor for a certain field or for a certain industry may change that is, the installed equipment may be used to a greater or less extent. It is entirely possible for capacity to increase and for actual use to decrease at the same time. This is an element worthy of considera­ tion when an index of power equipment is compared with an index of volume of production. If the former outstrips the latter the reason may be partly that the use factor has decreased over the period. In almost all manufacturing industries some of the equipment in­ cluded in the census is used only during times of exceptional business activity. For example, there are many blast furnaces of antiquated type in the country, which were used only during the recent war. Similarly there are many cotton spindles and flour-milling machines which have been idle for some time; but the engines which drive them have been included in the census. Mere horsepower capacity in itself, then, falls short of presenting a complete picture of the actual conditions in any field and at any one time.

The purpose of this study is primarily to set forth the trends manifested in horsepower equipment, but in conclusion it may not be out of place to suggest a number of ways in which the power index may be employed. They may be enumerated as follows:

1. As a measure of general industrial growth.2. As a measure of capital accumulation.3. As a measure of mechanical development, by comparing the index of power

equipment with indices or measures of (a) the supply of labor (or number of wage earners); (6) the volume of production; (c) the volume of production per wage earner; (d) the area of agricultural land in use; (e) the amount of wages per wage earner; (/) the capital invested per wage earner.

4. As a means of comparing these items for the United .States as a whole with those for other countries and with those for individual States or districts of this country.

Three of these uses have been developed in the preceding pages. Frequent reference has been made to the one which heads the list. The same is true for the second one, if "capital" is taken to mean instruments of production, particularly machinery. It is recognized, of course, that the power index tells nothing about the degree of intricacy or the value of the machines and their products. For example, a dentist's machine uses much less power in relation to the

Page 42: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

40 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

value of the machine than a textile-weaving machine. The growth in power equipment has also been compared with the growth in population and in number of wage earners and found to have ad­ vanced much more rapidly in other words, the amount of horse­ power per wage earner has shown a steady and decided rise since 1849.

The increase in equipment may also be compared with the increase in volume of production. This is perhaps the chief use of the power index and certainly its chief claim to interest hi the minds of con­ temporary business men and economists. The articles already cited and quoted are indicative of the present concern over this subject. In addition, the National Industrial Conference Board, which has made an extensive survey of power in manufactures, has released several press notices in which it stresses the increased productivity of labor and offers as the cause thereof the rapid growth of horsepower equipment. If the volume of output has grown faster than the numjber of wage earners, the inference safely follows that production per wage earner has increased throughout the period. And if, at the same time, the amount of power equipment has increased, it may be assumed that this item, so closely associated with human labor in production, has been at least partly responsible for the increase in output. A still better way of getting at this correlation is to compare directly the growth hi power per wage earner with growth in volume of production per wage earner, as suggested on page 39. If both have increased together, it is safe to assume that a correlation exists that the growth in power is to be largely credited with the growth in production.

It is realized that other elements may also enter into the matter of increased output. The wider employment of approved management methods, the campaign against waste, improved organization, and better industrial relations have all undoubtedly helped to effect the general result. But these elements were used in conjunction with more and better mechanical equipment.

The use of the power index in this connection is so significant that space may well be taken in illustrating it. Table 21 presents a summary of special items for comparison. These items have been selected because index numbers of volume of production are available for them. W. W. Stewart 37 has presented indices of production for "manufactures," "materials," "transportation," "mines and quar­ ries," "agriculture," and the sum of these five from 1889 to 1919. The index numbers of "manufactures" are based upon 50 commodities. Those for "materials" are based upon 39 of the products of mines and agriculture. The indices of "transportation" are derived from a con­ sideration of two factors on steam railroads ton-miles of freight and passenger-miles. The "materials" group is subdivided into "mines

* Am. Econ. Review, March, 1920, p. 57.

Page 43: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPMENT OF HORSEPOWER EQUIPMENT 41

and quarries " and " agriculture." Finally the sum of "manufactures," "materials," and "transportation" is expressed in the item "all com­ modities," made up of the total of 91 products. The index numbers do not merely represent production for the years indicated. They are five-year averages, thus giving consideration to the two years before and the two years after 1889, 1899, and 1909. It was impossible to take more than a three-year average for 1919, as Stewart's figures ended with that year.

The index numbers follow this classification in Table 21, which shows amount of equipment, number of wage earners, and volume of production and also makes the more direct comparison between horsepower per wage earner and production per wage earner. Figure 34 pictures the relative rates of growth graphically.

The table shows that in almost every group, from 1889 to 1919, horsepower equipment registered the fastest growth. Volume of production is next, and number of wage earners third. This record points clearly to only one conclusion volume of production per wage earner has grown steadily, accompanied by an even greater increase in power. The fact that in all items except "mines and quarries" power has grown much faster than volume of production, however, might seem to indicate a condition of diminishing returns that is, volume of production has increased with the growth of power, but not in as great a proportion. Plausible as this inference seems the fact'must not be forgotten that the power index merely shows capacity, not actual use. It might be that a decrease in rapidity of growth of actual use of power would be shown if it were possible to ascertain the figures. It is possible even that in certain items use of power might be outstripped by volume of production.

The indices showing volume of production per wage earner are obtained by dividing the indices of volume of production by the indices of number of wage earners. They show even more plainly the continuous increase in the productivity of labor. But when compared with installed horsepower per wage earner the volume of production per wage earner is seen to have risen less rapidly, especially since 1899. Before that year productivity led in none of the items except "manufactures" and "mines and quarries." Once more the fact that only capacity of prime movers is being considered precludes any conclusions concerning diminishing returns, but it seems fairly evident that increasing returns may have existed before 1899 in all but the two items noted. After that year only two of the indices, both for "mines and quarries," show a similar state of affairs; in 1909 the index of productivity exceeds the index of power by 14 per cent and in 1919 by 11 per cent. This increase may show the influence of the new cutting machinery in mines.

There seems, then, to be a marked correlation between productivity and power. This relation may be determined with a much greater degree of exactitude when more accurate and fuller information concerning power equipment and volume of production becomes available. One obvious weakness of index numbers of production extending backward a score or more of years is their failure to take into consideration the tremendous improvement in utility of the unit considered. It is plain that an automobile of 1909 or even of 1919 is not the equal in utility of an automobile of 1923, and similar compari­ sons may be made with reference to the units of other commodities. This means that the increase in productivity portrayed in Table 21 falls short of measuring the actual increase in total utility of the im­ mense volume of goods that is poured forth year after year. The curve of total utility would rise even more sharply.

The power index also admits of comparison with an index showing the increase in amount of improved farm land. This comparison would emphasize the growth of the United States as a manufacturing country and bring out the relative retrogression of agriculture. It is made in Table 22. From 1849 to 1919 the acreage of improved land increased only four and one-half times, while the power capacity increased more than seventeen times.

A basis is thus furnished for a little excursion into the field of eco­ nomic theory. Those who embrace the classical theory of marginal productivity will see in the development of horsepower equipment the growth of instrumental capital at, a pace much more rapid than that shown by labor and by land. They will find, then, that the marginal productivity of labor and land has increased relatively to that of capital, with resultant high wages per man and high rents to the landowner. Furthermore, the absolute amount of instrumental capital is so great that it takes a large absolute share of the product of industry.

Two other interesting uses of the power index for comparison are thus suggested. It may be compared with the growth in amount of wages per wage earner and with the amount of capital invested per wage earner.

The most inviting use to which the index of horsepower equipment in the United States could be put seems to be a comparison with indices based on similar studies made in other countries, such as Germany, France, and England. Europe is immensely interested in and perhaps apprehensive of the unprecedented prosperity of this country. It would be extremely interesting to see if the greater volume of production and higher wages in the United States coincide with a correspondingly greater amount and growth of horsepower equipment than can be found in the Old World.

« Horsepower purchased or rented is counted in the field of activity using it and also where it is installed. Autotrucks are included under both "Agriculture" and "Automobiles." There is therefore some dupli­ cation in th9lflgures in this table. The amount of duplication is indijS*fc&l by the difference between the fljures for the corresponding activities in Tables 2 and 3. For sourcas of data see Table 2.

Based on actual or brake horsepower of automobile engines as furnished by the different automobile manufacturers compared with similar figures published in the January numbers of "Motor." The average horsepower of the engines of passenger cars tor the different years was obtained by arranging the different makes of automobiles in groups according to volume of production. The average horsepower of each group was obtained, and the average of the groups for each year was then found by weighting tbe average of each group according to volume of production of all the makes included in the group. The average horsepower of trucks is the average of the horsepower of the engines of the different makes of trucks.

DEVELOPED AND POTENTIAL WATER POWER IN THE UNITED STATES AND MONTHLY PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY BY PUBLIC-UTILITY POWER PLANTS, 1919-1926

By A. H. HORTON

DEVELOPED WATER POWER*

During the period 1921-1927 the Geological Survey published, as memoranda to the press, mimeographed reports of the capacity of water wheels in plants of 100 horsepower or more in November, 1921, March, 1924, March, 1925, January 1, 1926, and January 1, 1927, and a report of the potential water power of the United States as determined in 1924. It is planned to continue the publication of the reports of capacity of water wheels on January 1 each year. In order to have a permanent record of the information in these reports, they are here republished in Table 39. The figures for Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina as previously published have been revised, owing to the erroneous allocation of Georgia plants to Alabama and to the transfer of plants in North Carolina from the manufacturing group to the public-utility group.

Most of the information in Table 39 has been obtained by the district engineers of the Geological Survey through correspondence or by personal visits to the power plants. The Census Bureau furnished information as to the amount of water power in manu­ factures for the South Atlantic States for some of the reports. The statistics of capacity of water wheels as previously published and as here republished are considered reliable and accurate, as practically all of them represent information taken from actual records of individual plants.

POTENTIAL WATER POWER

The first estimate of the amount of potential water power in the streams of the United States was prepared in 1908 by the Geological Survey and published in the report of the National Conservation Commission (60th Cong., 2d sess., S. Doc. 676) and in Water-Supply Paper 234. The figures of potential water power as published in these reports were revised and republished in 1912 by the Commis­ sioner of Corporations in a report on water-power development in

116

116 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

the United States and by the Department of Agriculture in 1916 in "Electric-power development in the United States" (64th Gong., 1st sess., S. Doc. 316). The revisions were due primarily to the use of different efficiencies of water wheels from those used by the Geological Survey. The estimates of potential water power in 1908 were made by dividing the streams of the United States into sections of different lengths, depending upon the slope of the channel. The flow of the streams was based on records of stream flow collected by the Geological Survey from 1888 to 1908, and the amount of fall was determined to a large extent from the Geological Survey's topo­ graphic maps. These base data were far from complete but were evidently used with excellent judgment and skill, as they have been used for all estimates of potential water power that have been published from 1908 to 1924. Without the records of stream flow that had been collected by the Geological Survey prior to 1908 it would have been impossible to prepare any reliable estimate of the country's water-power resources. The information then available as to the flow of streams, though relatively meager, was of ines­ timable value in contributing to the economical design of the water- power plants that were being constructed in this period of rapid development of water power. From the records of flow available and the fall determined from topographic maps or other sources, the potential water power of each stream was estimated, on the assump­ tions that water wheels would have a certain efficiency and that a certain percentage of the total fall could be utilized. The practica­ bility of development was not considered except that the potential power of those sections of streams which had very low slope and the development of which would for that reason be impracticable was not included.

The estimates of potential water power given in Table 40 were prepared by the Geological Survey in 1924. They were based largely on feasible water-power sites and therefore show the amounts of potential water power that can be developed when a market becomes available. The figures represent 24-hour power available 90 per cent and 50 per cent of the time at an over-all efficiency at the sites of 70 per cent. The estimates are somewhat larger than those for 1908. The difference is due in part to the inclusion in the 1924 figures of the United States share of the potential power of Niagara and St. Lawrence Rivers, neither of which was included in the 1908 report, and also to the availability of more extensive and accurate base data. In the period from 1908 to 1924 records of the flow of many streams were collected, many topographic maps completed, special river surveys made, and special investigations and studies made of the power possibilities of sections of the United States that were known

Page 121: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPED AND POTENTIAL WATER POWER 117

to have extensive water-power resources. The most important of all these data are the records of stream flow. The fall of a stream can be determined at any time; on the other hand, years are required to obtain records of stream flow that will include years of low yield and years of high yield, and without such records water-power developments of any considerable magnitude can not be properly designed or financed.

The figures of potential water power in Table 40 can not be con­ sidered final, as future surveys and investigations will probably indicate additional feasible water-power sites and may also indicate changes in the potential power of present known sites. The develop­ ment of storage reservoirs will also affect the estimates of power available. It is believed, however, that there will be no radical change in these estimates of potential water power by further surveys or investigations.

The proportion of the total potential water power of the United States that has already been developed can not be stated with accuracy. The amount of potential water power is based on the flow available 90 per cent and 50 per cent of the time. The^ amount of developed water power, however, is expressed in terms of capacity of installed water wheels. The capacity of water wheels installed in a water- power plant depends on whether the plant is to be operated as a base-load or a peak-load plant, the use made of the power, the dis­ tribution of stream flow, the storage control available, and other factors. It is the general practice in the construction of water-power plants to install hydraulic machinery capable of utilizing stream flow far in excess of the minimum flow and much in excess of the flow available 90 per cent of the time. Water-power plants with storage control sometimes utilize a flow for peak loads which is several times greater than the average annual flow of the stream on which the power plant is situated. These conditions cause a wide variation in the relations between the total capacity of water-power plants and the potential water power of the United States available 90 per cent or 50 per cent of the time and preclude an accurate estimate of the pro­ portion of the country's water-power resources developed at present. From an investigation of the capacity of water wheels at fully devel­ oped water-power sites in different sections of the country and of the potential power available at the same sites it is estimated that on January 1, 1927, about one-seventh of the total potential power of the United States was developed. As the capacity of water wheels in plants of 100 horsepower or more was 11,721,000 horsepower on January 1, 1927, the total capacity of water wheels necessary to develop all the potential water power of the United States would be about 80,000,000 horsepower.

PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY BY PUBLIC-UTILITYPOWER PLANTS

The Geological Survey hi 1919 began the publication of .reports of the monthly production of electric power and consumption of fuels by public-utility power plants. Reports have been published for the months of February, March, April, July, September, and October, 1919, and for January, 1920, and each subsequent month to date.

The monthly figures of output and fuel consumption are published in mimeographed reports about 30 days after the end of the latest month included in the report. Information for three months is included in each report; therefore the data for each month appear three times and are revised at each publication on the basis of reports received since the previous publication. Each company or plant has been requested to report the total amount of electricity gener­ ated, without deduction for station or other use. However, as many large companies, perhaps most of them, report only the amount of power that leaves their plants that is, the net output that practice has recently (August, 1927) been adopted by the Geological Survey for future reports.

The monthly figures of output and fuel consumption are based on reports of the operation of power plants submitted by companies in the United States that furnish electric power for public use. On January 1,1927, about 2,100 companies operating about 3,800 power plants were on the Geological Survey's list. Reports are received from plants representing about 95 per cent of the capacity of all the plants listed. The output of those plants which do not submit reports is estimated. The monthly figures as published therefore indicate the output of all plants.

Every concern producing electricity for public use, whether desig­ nated as a public utility or not, is included in the list of companies requested to submit reports. The inclusion of any company or plant in the list has of course no effect on the status of the company or plant as a public utility. The figures represent the output of central stations, municipal plants, electric-railway plants, plants operated by steam railroads generating electricity for traction, Bureau of Recla­ mation plants, and that part of the output of manufacturing plants which is sold for public use. The annual output of the central stations, municipal plants, and electric-railway plants includes over 98 per cent of the total. In 1926 the output of all the other types of plants was only 1% per cent of the total, and in the previous years of record this percentage was probably still less.

The figures of monthly output in Table 41 are revisions of the figures of monthly output previously published in the current monthly reports. The revisions are due for the most part to the receipt of additional reports since the monthly figures were last published.

FIQUBK 36. Annual production of electricity by public-utility power plants, 1902-1926. Open square, data from Census Bureau; black dot, from Geological Survey

The figures for the amount of electricity produced each year by the use of wood as fuel, shown in Table 42, are included in the figures of monthly output in Table 41.

Table 44 shows that the increase in the total output from 1919 to 1926 was nearly 100 per cent, indicating an average annual rate of growth during the seven-year period of 9.6 per cent compounded annually. The curves hi Figure 36 showing the total output and the

output by the use of water power and by the use of fuel for each year from 1919 to 1926 are based on reports of the Geological Survey, and the total output for each fifth year from 1902 to 1922 is based on the reports of the Census Bureau. The figures of output by the Geological Survey are comparable with those of the Census Bureau except that they include the output of the Bureau of Keclamation plants and the portion of the output of manufacturing companies that is sold for public use. The difference is negligible, as hi 1926 the output of these plants was less than 0.5 per cent of the totaL

FIGURE 37. Electric public-utility power companies, 1920-1928

The curves in Figure 37 apparently indicate rather marked changes in the number of companies and plants from 1920 to 1921. These changes are explained as follows: When the publication of these reports was started, early in 1919, the output of plants of all sizes was included. It was soon discovered that a large number of very small plants whose combined output was so small as to be negligible were so slow in making reports many of these small plants not being equipped with meters that the early publication of the monthly

Page 126: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

DEVELOPED AND POTENTIAL WATER POWER 121

figures was prevented. An analysis of the output of plants having a capacity of 100 kilowatts or less showed that the output of such plants was less than 0.25 per cent of the total output. As a plant whose monthly output is 10,000 kilowatt-hours is considered equivar lent to a plant of 100 kilowatts, all plants whose monthly output was less than 10,000 kilowatt-hours were removed from the list of plants asked to report. The year 1920 was a period of adjustment in the preparation of these reports, as many plants were removed from the list after reports for a few months indicated that their output was below the limit. Many of these small plants were municipal plants, and as small municipalities generally have but one plant a municipal plant was necessarily counted as an operating company, and the removal of one of these plants also removed an operating company from the list. This adjustment in plants and companies during 1920 explains the reduction in the number of plants and companies in 1921 shown in Figure 37. Since 1921 there has not been much change in the number of plants, but there was a gradual reduction in the num­ ber of companies from 1921 to 1924 and a marked reduction since 1924. Part of the change in number of companies is due to the tak­ ing over of municipal plants by public-utility companies, thereby reducing the number of companies as well as of plants. There has also been during the last few years a rapid absorption of small operating companies by large public-utility companies.

The growth in the capacity of generators is comparable to that in total output, amounting from 1920 to 1927 to 9.9 per cent com­ pounded annually, while the increase in output for the same period was 9.6 per cent compounded annually. These figures apparently indicate that the increase in capacity is keeping but little ahead of the demand for electricity.

The total output in 1919 was about 39,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours; in 1926 the output was about 74,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours that is, the output was nearly doubled in the comparatively short period of seven years. It is a fact of special interest that the production of electricity by the use of water power has maintained its relative position throughout this period of tremendous development in the use of electricity. The water-power output from 1919 to 1926 has been one-thmj, or more of the total output each year, and it is believed that a season of heavy precipitation throughout the United States would increase the water-power output to 40 per cent or more of the total.

Probably one of the most significant facts brought out by the tables is the increase in the efficiency in the use of fuel in generating electricity as shown in Table 46. In 1919 it took 3.2 pounds of coal to generate a kilowatt-hour of electricity; this rate has declined steadily year by year, and in 1926-only 1.95 pounds was required.

Page 127: POWEB CAPACITY AND PEODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES

122 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

In 1919 the consumption of a ton of coal generated 625 kilowatt- hours; in 1926 the corresponding figure was 1,025 kilowatt-hours an increase in output of 64 per cent. The total conservation of fuel by this improvement in utilization was enormous and is an excellent example of what can be accomplished by so-called small economies. If there had been no improvement from 1919 to 1926 the consump­ tion of coal would have been 100,000,000 tons more, which would have increased the fuel bill at least a third of a billion dollars.

The figures given above are of special significance btecause they are based on the operation of all plants and are therefore average results. At present a kilowatt-hour of electricity is generated in some plants with about 0.9 pound of coal, or less than half the average in 1926, and a mercury-vapor generating unit is now being built which is guaranteed to generate 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity with about 0.75 pound of coal. Nevertheless, the process of converting the potential energy of coal into power is still far from perfection, as even the mercury-vapor generating unit recovers only about 30 per cent of the heat units in the coal, 70 per cent being dissipated in making use of the 30 per cent. Hydroelectric units, on the other hand, recover over 90 per cent of the energy in the falling water that drives the water wheels of a power plant.

GROWTH OF WATER-POWER DEVELOPMENT IN THEUNITED STATES

By R. W. DAVENPORT

Plate 3 shows the amount of water-power development by years from 1910 to 1926 for the United States and its principal geographic divisions. This information was obtained in part from the records of the Geological Survey of water-power plants in the United States having a capacity of 100 horsepower or more. The increased capacity of each of these plants during the period covered, whether from new installation or redevelopment of a power site, was determined for each year. The dates of beginning operation determined the years to which the increased installations were allocated. This information was obtained from numerous sources, consisting princi­ pally of articles in engineering periodicals and published and un­ published reports of various kinds available in files of Government offices. Development was not determined by this method prior to 1910, because for the earlier years it was somewhat difficult to obtain authentic information regarding a plant, and consequently it was thought that the value of data for those years would not be sufficient to justify the labor involved in obtaining them. When efforts to determine the exact year of beginning operation were not successful, the capacity of the plant was distributed over the years between the latest date when available information showed that it was not in operation and the earliest date when it was known to have been in operation. However, the proportion of the total capacity so esti­ mated was practically insignificant.

Plate 3 also shows for the United States for each year, beginning with 1910, the increase in installation in water-power plants requir­ ing authorization by the Federal Government in some manner. This covers developments authorized by congressional legislation, both special and general, including the Federal water-power act.

Table 48 shows the installed capacity of water wheels in water- power plants ia the United States at the end of each year from 1909 to 1926 and for certain earlier years. The data for 1909-1926 were obtained by progressively subtracting the results for the indivdual years shown ia Plate 3 from the records of the Geological Survey for

205

206 POWER CAPACITY AND PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES

the late years. The results shown in the table for 1869, 1879, and 1889 were determined by adding to the water-power development for those years, as given in the census of manufactures, a capacity relatively very small, estimated as utilized in mining, public utilities, and uses other than those comprehended by manufactures. The data for 1902 and 1907 were determined from the results of the Bureau of the Census for the electrical industries for those years, by adding thereto estimates of the developed power in mines and quarries and in manufactures as found by interpolating between the years for which the Bureau of the Census reported these data. The results differ from results of certain years as given elsewhere in this publi­ cation, but these differences are small aad are such as usually occur in consequence of determination by different persons using different methods.

Plate 4, in the graph designated "Total development," presents the data given in Table 48. This diagram also shows, beginning at the end of 1909, the capacity of water-power plants requiring Federal authorization.

Notable activity in water-power development commenced in the nineties, when electric transmission of power became feasible and the hydroelectric plant became a factor in the generation of power, and up to 1910 the rate of growth gradually increased. The annual growth from 1910 to 1923 was reasonably uniform except possibly in the years 1913 and 1919. The somewhat abnormally large develop­ ment in 1913 is explained in part by the fact that it includes large installations on Mississippi River at Keokuk, Iowa, and on Big Creek, Calif. Similarly, the result for 1919 is explained in part by a large additional installation at Niagara Falls. The great iaereaaa in development beginning with 1923 may be accounted for by several factors, the more influential of which are the increasing demand

for power, the reaction from retarded growth during the war period, the stabilization of construction costs after the war, and, in 1920, the passage of the Federal water-power act, which afforded a more satisfactory basis for the development of projects requiring Federal authorization. On January 1, 1927, the capacity of plants in the United States, exclusive of Alaska, authorized under the Federal water-power act and in operation was 1,500,000 horsepower. Licenses issued under the Federal water-power act on January 1, 1927, covered the completion of a total installed capacity of 3,200,000 horsepower in the next 10 years. Such of these projects as fail will undoubtedly be more than offset by new projects that will be licensed hereafter. In addition to these developments under the Federal water-power act, there will continue to be new developments and increased instal­ lations at former plants not requiring Federal authorization. Steady growth in water-power development appears to be assured for many years.
