[PRCo] Re: Computer Control ???

[Ken and Tracie]

Oddly enough, Milwaukee's and Cleveland's systems were once part of the same 
holding company, as were the Washington DC and St. Louis systems. It was the 
North American Company.

Milwaukee was so busy building interurban lines, that Insull's companies and 
Northern States Power wound up hemming them in before they started to expand 
their electric power services.
