new panel? old panel?

I have done some research and found out that pushmatic can be Square D or ITE. The following link to Connecticut Electric lists original pushmatic and the ITE replacement. The original type breakers are 10 bucks more than the replacement. I made up a diagram showing a sub panel attached to your main. The graphic representation of the existing panel may not even look close to yours but I tried. I'm figuring on a 40 amp feeder for the sub panel. You'll use #8-3 with ground romex. You can go to Home Depot or Lowes for the sub. Go with any manufacturer you are comfortable with. GE, Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse, Challenger are all good brands. Get something you don't have to use mail order for breakers. Any questions write back.
