power compared to the ones just mentioned, were available and soon requested by some operating
units.

stations loaded on lorries. Two 5 kW fixed stations were n Bologna and Mantua; the 3 kW stations were in Treviso, Arsiero,
Primolano (Arsiè), Pieve di Cadore, Osoppo and the 1.5 kW stations were in Belluno, Verona and Ravenna.
