The general offices of the company and a cafeteria are also located in a portion of the top floor of this plant. Commercial testing laboratories are maintained at all its plants to assure the perfection of the materials shipped out; and extensive research and development laboratories are maintained at its Perth Amboy and Pittsburgh plants, for in this branch of electrical development, as in the elec- trical field generally, constant vigilance (study and research) is the price of liberty (commercial and financial success) and the Standard Company, through its corps of specially trained engineers, has always given the closest attention to the needs of the industry, and while those needs have had a marked growth in the last four or five years, the end is not yet. Four or five years ago, underground cables to carry cur- rent at 33,000 volts pressure were rare, and were considered very difficult to make, while today they are not at all un- common for some of the cable manufacturers; in fact this company has during the last two years, made and furnished a number of underground cables” to operate at 66,000 to 75,000 volts pressure, as the demand arose for such extra- ordinary super-tension cables, and concurrently with such cable development has also gone the development of termi- nals and joints to match the cable. Now there is a wish, in some important quarters, that cables for 132,000 volts might be made available, and the Standard Company is at work on the problem, and expects to make such cables commercially in the near future. This company has been peculiarly fortunate in holding its important staff for long periods of time, and in com- manding a degree of loyalty and attachment to its interests which is rarely found. Thus a relatively large number of the more important key men (as well as some of minor im- portauce at present) both in production and research, in sales and administration, have to their credit continuous periods of service ranging from fifteen years up to thirty- five years or more, the president of the company, Joseph W. Marsh, having been connected with it since its birth in 1882.
