An electric ventilatOr for supplying q
building with fresh air, either c1ld or
warmed, as desired, IS so arranged that
the electric motor sets the veutilatOr
revolving, which sucks cool air IN.
When warm air Is desired. a curreet IS
sent into a network Of fine wire pos
sessing high resistance, and through
;he network the air is obliged 20 pass;
the current heats the wires and the air
becomes heated. The movement of a
cOmmutator is sufficient TO change the

ventilator. This system Is capable of
considerable adaptation, aud il is stated
that the hygienic results are good.
