all button attached to kitchen buzzer.
Bathroom
One side bracket on each side of mirror.
One side wall receptacle for curling iron, shaving mug and
luminous radiator.
Kitchen
One center ceiling light, one side bracket over sink and one
side wall outlet for iron and washing machine.
Cellar
Five outlets should be provided for proper illumination, one at
foot of stairs, one at work bench, one in fruit and vegetable
cellar and one in front of furnace located so as also to
illuminate the coal bin.
A control switch and telltale lamp should be provided in the
kitchen.
Attic
Two outlets are usually sufficient. A control switch and
telltale lamp should be provided in the hall.
Clothes Press
A rigid pendant with a chain-pull socket should be provided for
each dark clothes press.
It is most convenient and practical to have these lights
operated by an automatic switch which is opened and closed by
the closing and opening of the closet door. This provides a
light immediately the door is opened, while when the door is
shut one may be sure that the light has not been left burning.
GENERAL
Baseboard outlets should be installed in all rooms for the use
of vacuum cleaner, fans, or other portable appliances.
Bell-ringing transformers which provide current for door bells
and buzzers should be installed for each apartment.
Emergency gas lights should be provided for the halls, kitchen,
dining-room and bathroom.
If any special requirements are not provided for in the above
recommendations your Lighting Company will be glad to give you
expert advice free of charge. They pride themselves on being at

WIRING HINTS
The service entrance should be of sufficient capacity to care
for additional load in the form of electric heating, cooking and
other domestic appliances. The branch circuits should be heavy
and numerous enough to care for additional outlets for lighting
and appliances as found desirable. Your Lighting Company will be
glad to go over your plans with you.
The electric meters should be located in the cellar near the gas
meter, as this will save you the annoyance of meter readers and
testers going through the house to the attic.
Be sure and install control switches and telltale lamps on
cellar and attic lights.
Provide three-way switches in the halls so that the hall lights
may be controlled from either the first or second floor.
