of petrol for submarines. aeroplanes and

only machine of this character on tne
market
The Kinetic blower has been de-
signed expressly for organ blowing,
and has effectually overcome this diff
f1culty, says the Popular Electricity
The machine consists of several fans
mounted on one shaft, by the rotation
of which the required air pressure is
generated, each fan adding the pres
sure developed by itself to that OF the
preceding fan. These fans are en-.
closed in case and the whole mount
ed on the I-beam base and direct con-
nected or belted to an electric motor;
motors in all cases being unenclosed
1t can be run equally well by either
direct or alternating current motors.
No care is required by either blower
or motor other than filling the oil cups
every few weeks.
