Abstract
An electrical supply system for use in a space divider system comprised of a plurality of upright wall panels arranged end to end to form a work station. Each wall panel is supported by depending legs in a position in which the lower edge of the panel is spaced above the floor. The energy supply system comprises a plurality of raceway sections containing electrical conductors and disposed below the panels adjacent their lower edges so as to provide an essentially unbroken appearance between the panels and the raceway sections. The lower edges of the raceway sections are located a predetermined distance above the floor to establish a clearance between the raceway sections and the floor where communications lines can be located. Side cover members are positioned on the floor along the lower edges of the raceway sections to conceal the clearance below the raceway sections.
