ELECTRICITY FOR MOTORS.
The Edison Company's Practical
Illustration at the Eair

The Edison Company's Practical
Illustration at the Fair.
The use of electricity for motor purposes
offers so many advantages over steam
power that IL is rapidly superseding the
latter, especially in small manufacturing
enterprises. The display at the fair of the
Edison Light and Power Company offers
practical illustration of the advantages
OF the use of electric power for motor pur-
poses.
Ii is possible for this company to fur
nlsh electric energy for motors of any
horsepower capacity, and whether the
motor is a large or a small one the best
satisfaction over the results achieved and
advantages gained is expressed by those
VINO are using electric power for driving
machinery. It is cheaper and cleaner and
possesses in addition many other claims
for favor. Chief among the latter is the
fact that the power is available at any
hour during the day or night, as the cur
rent is constantly on.
The amount of electricity used is regis
tered by meter, and by this means only
the quantity actually used is paid for
The use of meters for measuring the
quantity of electricity used is likewise ap-
Piled to arc lights, and its introdu uction for
this purpose, com blned with the i'm proved
SNJ - Ot oA q RIcdI
saving in the cost of this style of electric
lighting.
Under the old system lamps had to be
trimmed daily (that is supplied with fresh
carbons), and it was only possible to run a
lamp for q given number of hours. If a
light was not required for the full length
OF time that it would run it made no differ
ence in the cost. With the use of the i'm
proved arc lamp and a meter this is all
changed. The former will run for $50
hours. When the light is to be useo the
current is turned on and the amount of
electricity used is registered by the meter,
and when not In use the current is turned
of and there is no cost for lighting beyond
the actual time the lamp is in use.
These Improvements have caused
marked increase in the number of arc
lamps in use in this City and the demand
for them as well as the dem and tor electric
motors is constantly increasing. The
Edison's Company's plant is of sufficient
capacity to keep pace with all demands
made upon them for electric energy, and
they are ever on the alert to introduce all
new inventions and devices calculated to
reduce to minimum the cost of electricity
to their patrons.
