laboratory is equipped with 10 electrl-
cal machines varying in capaclty from
/ to 30 horse power.
There are series, shunt, and compound
mound direct current dynamos ana mos

one, two and three phase synchronous
and induction motors OF the latest
types. rotary converters OF special de-
sign, constant current, constant poten-

rheostats and other auxiliary appara-

| Most Of the machines with which this
laboratory IL equipped We're specially

For celebrating ana testing the meas

eral standard resistance boxes, -FOUR
standard cells, two silver yoltameters,
Weston triple scale, semi portable lnp-
oratory standard voltmeter, slmllar
standard ammeter, set of Lord KEEL
vin,s BALANCES for current volt, ana
Watt measurements and two lahora-
tory standard instruments. This excel
lent SCI Of standards Is frequently made
use of by electrical people IN Salt LAKE
for testing the accuracy OF their own
instruments.
