Show Water and Electricity. The bureau of standards says If a stream of water from a hose is thrown upon high tension wires at close range there is considerable haznrd from the possible conduction of electricity by the stream of water back to the men holding the nozzle. If, however, the stream of water be thrown from a distance such that the water breaks up into drops before coming in eon-tact eon-tact with the electrical conductors, there is little danger, as such a stream of water Is nonconducting. |
