Note 49 — Chapter XVI · ELECTRIC GENERATING WORKS
Reading edition
To show the importance of following this injunction, it is only necessary to mention an accident recorded in the Electrical Review. While a man was cleaning an electric street lamp at Boston he received a shock and was killed, his body being suspended from the wires. A man who endeavoured to remove the body came in contact with it, and was dashed to the ground with such violence that he died shortly afterwards.
