Excerpts from the report Findings: Some cotton gins pay more than twice as much as others for the same amount of electric power. This was one of the findings in a study of power expenses at 32 gins in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas in 1959-60. This report of the study shows the effects of rate schedules on the cost of electricity and explains how power companies measure electricity and the terms they use. It will be helpful to all ginners interested in keeping their power expenses as low as possible. Comparisons for this report were based on charges for 90,000 kilowatt hours used over a 5-month period in ginning 2,000 bales in a typical gin plant equipped with electric motors totaling 350 horsepower.
