Abstract: Philadelphia Electric Company has established a new meter shop that utilizes a Power and Free Conveyor System that automatically processes meters through several operaitions and accumulates work at various stations. When a full workload has accumulated at a station, personnel are shifted to clear the workload. The design concept and the economic factors that justified the use of a Power and Free Conveyor System and its applications are explained. The Philadelphia Electric Companv began operation of a new modern central giLs meier shop in 1972. The seleclion of a Power and Free Conveyor System and other automated equipment has permiiied a reduction in manpower requirements of nine men. Previously, three suburban division shops performed the necessary gius meter lesi and repair operations with a total of 21 men. The new central shop operates efficienliv with only 12 men which includes a shop supervisor and a working foreman.
