Thesis (Masters Diploma (Electrical Engineering)) --Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 1987 / This thesis describes the development of a computerized Load Recorder. The load recorder is used by the Cape Town City Council to assist in the tariff investigation of electricity consumers. This investigation assists the consumers in selecting the best cost effective electricity tariff. It also motivates the consumers to maintain a constant load which in turn assists the Council in supplying the required electricity. The load recorder replaces a manual and time consuming method used in conducting the tariff investigation. The development of the load recorder involved the design of hardware and software. It was designed in a compact enclosure to hook up to the electricity meters of the consumer for a period of 7 days. The software was designed in the 6805 assembly language to log data and record the electricity load every 15 or 30 minutes for this period. At the end of this period the data is downloaded into the HP85 personal computer. A basic program was designed for the HP85 to analyse and compute the downloaded data. A graphical representation and analysis is printed by the HP85 computer. The given graph of the results represents the electricity used for this period. The tariff rates are analysed and calculated to determine the best cost effective tariff. A CMOS micro computer intergrated circuit was chosen due to the determined specification of the load recorder. In order to make the development of the load recorder possible an aid (tool) had to be designed and built for the chosen microprocessor. This development aid, the emulator, is included as part of this thesis. The Motorola exorciser only supported a cross assembler for the chosen microprocessor family. The emulator was designed and built to enable testing and debugging on the Exorciser. The development on the emulator involved a detailed analysis of the Exorciser development system. The emulator was designed using hardware and software. The hardware emulator board was designed as a standard Motorola size card which plugs into the Exorciser. The software was designed for the 6809 exorciser and for the 6805 emulator. The emulator was soak tested and debugged during the development of the load recorder. The emulator opened further avenues for future microcomputer design projects especially where a confined area and compactness is an important factor. The design and development of the emulator and the load recorder was conducted in the Computer Section of the City Electrical Engineer's Department of Cape Town.

Joseph Chamberlain and the Tariff Reform Movement in Great Britain are inseparable. Free Trade had triumphed in 1846 and remained the dominant politico-economic theory in the United Kingdom until the closing years of the nineteenth century. After 1870 serious challenges to Britain's industrial and commercial supremacy came from Germany and the United States. Attempts at Tariff Reform were made in the early 1880's by Lord Randolph Churchill and others, but they came to nothing. Joseph Chamberlain was at this period a radical reformer, but in 1886 he became a Liberal Unionist in opposition to Home Rule. He was not yet a Tariff Reformer. In 1895 Chamberlain became Secretary of State for the Colonies, and also an ardent Imperialist. Although still nominally a Free Trader he began to interest himself in imperial preference. The Unionist party, however, was still staunchly Free Trade in sentiment. By 1902 the combined issues of protection and imperial preference were raised in Parliament. The Education Bill of- that year, sponsored by Lord Salisbury's government, was most unpopular and the Unionists were looking for a new issue. Lord Salisbury retired, and Arthur Balfour became Prime Minister. Chamberlain, still at the Colonial Office, was now veering towards Tariff Reform. It was his visit to South Africa in 1902-03 which clarified his views on this all important subject. In 1903 he launched his Tariff Reform campaign and resigned from the cabinet. A rift in the Unionist ranks soon became apparent. Even the Prime Minister was unable to heal the breach. From 1904 to 1906 Chamberlain campaigned hard for Tariff Reform. He was successful in capturing the Liberal Unionist "machine" and also obtained a strong following among the Conservative Unionists. But the Liberal party, hitherto split, closed ranks on the Free Trade issue, and secured the support of Labour. Balfour attempted, unsuccessfully, to hold the various sections of the Unionist party together, but, at length he tendered his resignation on December 4, 1905. The Liberals, under Campbell-Bannerman were triumphantly returned to power in January 1906. In the same year Joseph Chamberlain suffered a stroke and was never, thereafter, able publicly to lead the Tariff Reform campaign. The campaign, however, continued with varying success. Balfour, as usual, would not declare himself, but Tariff Reform sentiment was growing. In 1908 the tide seemed to be turning towards Tariff Reform and in the next year it reached its height. But Lloyd George in 1909 introduced the People's Budget, and in the controversy which ensued and which culminated in the Parliament Act of 1911, the Tariff Reform issue was sidetracked. The 1910 elections showed the strength of Free Trade. Balfour was forced to resign as Leader of the Opposition in 1911. Bonar Law, the new leader, was not enthusiastic over Tariff Reform and did not favour Balfour's proposed referendum on that subject. The international situation after 1911 went from bad to worse and 1914 witnessed not only the .outbreak of the First World War, but the death of Joseph Chamberlain. Chamberlain had accomplished much with his Tariff Reform League and his research schemes, but he was not able to overthrow Free Trade. It was not until the early 1930's that Great Britain changed her tariff policy. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate
