So far our light meters have been round things like occult gadgets and impossible to read except by initiates. New Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Ed for short) is intsalling something different. It sounds like a small computer to me, that will do the same as the computers on airline planes that fly themselves.

These new meters will do any number of things and also give us, we hope, an idea of how much energy we consume.
