HEAVY SAVING IN POWER.
Electric Motors showing an ECONOMY Of

1Aty CE 0ohs
Casters Magazine for February:
There have been many cases Of the use
of electro motors to drive lines OF
shaftlng or isolated parts Of plants to
prove concluslvely the remarkable In
creased efficiency obtained, especially
whcr the conveyance OF steam for u
long distance was necessary. This has
led to more thorough study Of the
amount Of power absorbed by the line
shaftIng and counter shafts. The min
imum loss that can be looked for, and
this IA obtained only In exceptional
cases requiring constant vigilance, ia
% per cent Of tile total power develop
ed, md more frequently runs as high
as 65 to 20 per cent. A safe average
would be from 40 to 80 per cent. al
though the Actual loss must be deter
mined for each and every case. With
the use OF electric motors. when proper
ly designed and proportioned for the
work, as, indeed, Is rs necessary In
electric Work rs with any other prob
lem of mechanics IL the best results
ARE desired. this percentage Of loss can
be materially reduced. An inefficient
result may be expected with bad cleo
trio engineering just as with poorly
arranged case Of millwrighting, but,
the electrical proportions being once
obtained, there Will, within reasonable
limits, be no decrease In efficiency
from the deterioration.
The advent Of electricity for such
PURPOSES seems to have enabled man.

before the less accompanying what
was heretofore GENERALLY accepted rs
the most efficient method Of furnishing
power 10 the Individual machines Of a
plant. The use Of electric motors In the

has been sufficiently EXTEND
ed to render the veriflcntlon OF the re-
suits obtained unnecessary. 1t Is no
to find reduction Of 80 per
cent. of the power consumed. This Is
not due entirely 10 the saving Of loss
through friction, hut also TO the advan-
tages gained by the intermittent action
of machinery Of every kind. Tests
show that where the motor drive has
been substituted, the machines are In
operation but little more than one-half

power required is only about one-half
the total average power OF the ma

In concluding Its opinion the court
says:
Eve find tho principle underlying

strongly the Unfortunate. condition Of

sion without much reluctance. The
