Washing Machine.

In these days OF modern improve
ments. most houses are equipped with
a washing machine. and the question
that arises in the mind of the house
holder is how to furnish the power to
run 1t economically. l referred this
question to my husband, with the re-
suit that he built a motor which
proved so very satisfactory that l pre-
vailed upon him to give the readers
OF this magazine a description Of 1t,
hoping 1t may solve the same question
for them. says Mrs. Paul 8. Winter.
In Popular Mechanics.
A motor OF this type will develop
about one-half horsepower with .
water pressure OF 20 pounds. The
power developed is correspondinsly in.
creased or decreased as the pressure
exceeds or falls below this. In the
latter case the power may be in
creased by using smaller pulley.
