There's a "device" in this room that's equipped with an immense memory bank that can receive customer complaints, sort through a maze of lines and cables, then send a crew to the trouble spot, all in a matter of minutes. That's him in the striped shirt. His name is John Fanella and he's one of the many Edison dispatchers who are ready for action 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Because when there's an emergency, it's the dispatcher who gets the call. He's the man who uses raw information and his powers of deduction to estimate where, along the thousands of miles of overhead lines and under­ ground cable, the problem lies. He's the man who then sends out the emergency crews to track it down and solve it. And because electricity is so vital to the welfare of a city, he must do all this with computer-like efficiency--whether the problem is an overloaded transformer or a tornado. John Fanella has been through storms so bad that emergency crews had to be called in from as far away as Colorado. He's worked through the night restoring electncity Commonwealth Edison Working for you. to a factory so people could go back to work in the morning. He's even sent out a man to rescue a pet cat stranded on a pole In a day when some companies rely heavily on the impersonal response of a computer, we're glad to have John and our other dispatchers. As he puts it "I have the highest respect for this department and our people. They're the most dedicated people I've ever met. But you've got to be dedicated to be in this business."
