Marriage—with problems

ABSTRACT

In Newark, New Jersey, Federal Pacific Electric Company operates a complex of modern plants producing specialized electrical equipment for construction and industry. From its assembly lines pours an assortment of packaged products for the distribution and control of electric power—circuit breakers, load centers, switches, motor control, instruments—more than 2000 catalog items, ranging in price from one to several hundreds of dollars. Federal Pacific also operates an international network of other plants producing engineered electrical equipment approaching in bulk the size of a house, but these are not warehouse items and, as such, are not relevant to today's discussion.
