BRAMBEL.s NEW DYNAMO.
1t Is Destined to RevolutiOnize
Electric Lighting.

A1SCtEIC
SLEEPY EYE, Dec 28.-Besides O
wonderful rotary engine that Grant
Brambel invented and patented and
Tor which he will receive not less than
600, he has just received a patent
on another very important piece of
machinery that will be a blessing to
mankind, that is a dynamo for both
arc or incandescent lighting The old
theory that but one current of cleo
tr1cfty could be derived from the arma-
ture Of any dynamo is utterly annihi-
lated by the recent invention Of Mr..
BrambePs arcadescent dynamo. He
mas set aside all doubts and theories
by taking from 1000 or 1000 separate,
distinct circuits from the one dynamo
and the one armature by very simple
cCntriVance, so that it can be easily
understood
By the new invention it will be seen
that an arc circuit and an incandes-
cent circuit from the armature can be
obtained just the same as though two
dy namoS were used. In the No. ma
chine there can be derived the arc
current for streets and the incandes-
cent for inside lighting, the number
OF candle power to be decided upon
by users of the system. The new sys-
tenn has been thoroughly tested and is
now in practiced operation at Sleepy
Eye and proves that it will be great
saving to the small or large towns
where the two systems have heretofore
been derived from two separate sys-
TENS.
AS to the practical operation Of this
new Dynamo Mr.. Brambel says that q
dynamo can be built for any number
OF circuits, leading in every direction,
instead Of having a number Of dyna-
mos to do the same work. For in
stance, it will be of great value to
electric roads, as currents may be had
on every street in a city, independent
OF each other SO that If one wire gives
out or breaks it will not affect the
other.
Another very important factor about
this new invention will be its adapt-
ability to the Geographic wires through
out the world The machine can be
so constructed that numerous wires
can lead from it's commutator in any
degree Of strength required on the
lines, be they short or long 1t will
do away with the obnoxious glass lar
zinc and copper, together with the nee
eSsary attention required to keep them
In order. The machine can be run by
a small motor or steam engine, and Is
automatic in all it's details From q
machine Of 1900 separate segmental
winnings. 1000 wires may be run and
the zoo vacant segments can be idle.
In case one becomes inactive the hold
er moves forward to another. and
works the same as if nothing had hap
pened; or, If one should burn out. the
others come into play
Segments are so adjusted that a cur
rent can be given from a low to a
very high potential, the currents being
SO fine that there is no perceptible diff
ference in the machines compared with
that given by the gravity batteries the
telegraph companies use today. AS a.
matter of economy to the companies.
the inventor makes great claims. Mr..
Brambel also says that the new sys-
tenn will greatly assist the work of
operators by giving a good current in
dry as we'll as wet weather.
Since this new dynamo has been
patented Mr.. Brambel has been visited
by various electrical experts, who have
made big offers for it's sale, but the
inventor is not yet satisfied with its
invention. He is figuring and expert
menung on an attachment that will
further enlarge it's usefulness. Mr..
Brambel has labored for the past six
teen years on this invention. and is
now satisfied that his machine will do
away with the old style machines,
