	1958		:Four Electro-Mobile rail units and one highway unit will supply all electric power for 22 acres of exhibits at General Motors' big ''World's Fair of Power'' on Chicago's Lake Front from August 31 to September 25, 1955.

			: Power for operating displays and night lighting of the "Powerama," biggest industrial exposition of its kind, posed a costly power supply problem for temporary installation to supply a large demand ofr a relatively short time in an isolated area.

			: This problem was solved by the use of Electro-Mobile Power, conveniently moved into the exposition site near Soldier Field in cooperation with the Chicago Park District, just a few days ahead of the opening date.

			: After conclusion of the "Powerama," these units, including two for the Commonwealth Edison Company, will be moved to other locations where they can meet utility needs in a wide variety of economic applications.
