How can a utility safely train a beginning operator to use electropneumatic and electrohydraulic controls without risk? The Municipal Authority of the Borough of West View, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, developed a gadget to solve the dilemma. The training control board simulates various automatic controllers for pumps, tanks, reservoirs, lighting systems, filter controls, and general plant equipment. Included in the article are construction materials and costs.
