During a recent test these pumps developed a pressure of 58 pounds per square inch at the 77th floor, or 422 pounds pressure per square inch at the basement installation—a mighty test for drive and pump alike. A stunt? N o! Such protection must be maintained as long as needed—on a second's notice. Such outstanding performance has won con fidence for the hundreds of G-E products. This confidence has been maintained largely through the work of more than three decades of college graduates who are members of the G -E organization.
