Voltage Regulator

Voltage Regulator
The automatic voltage regulator is
a small machine which was mail1.li nc
tured purposely to fit the condit- ons
of the local system and is a machine
very seldom found in small plant.
The mechanism works similarly to
that of a telegraph instrument and
serves to regulate the voltage and
give a steady current. The Change
of current is more easily effec; ed on
a small plant than on the larger
plants and when a number cf motors
are set in motion at the same time
the voltage is effected to consider
able extent. This wonderful machine
will regulate these conditions so that
no matter what amount of current up
to capacity of the plant is turned ON,
the voltage is always the same.
1t was suggestion of Mr. Reinbold
which prompted Mr.. Burmeister to
have the machine installed. The manu-
facturers doubted whether the ma
chine would work successfully I'M
der existing conditions and at first
hesitated about making it. Mr.. Rein
bold has installed this machine in
several larger plants and is familiar
with its work, and insisted that it be
manufactured. The machine has given
much better satisfaction than the To-
cal operators had dared expect. Prior.
to this the regulating of voltage was
done by han dand was not entirely
satisfactory. 81
Speed and Voltage Indicators
| Two other important machines rec
emily installed are the speed and vol
tage indicators The former is very
! delicate instrument and consists of
small reeds which are tuned to the
! different pitches of vibration. AS the
speed varies each reed will become
active and indicate at just what speed
the machinery is operating.
The voltage indicator is machine
with clock works and has dial SINH
lar to that of a clock. On the face
of this dial is chart showing the
different degrees of voltage and it
also indicates the minutes and hours
of the day. A small pen like affair
is attached to the charged wire. This
pen is allowed to swing at will and
as the voltage in increased or de-
creased the little pen draws a red
line. This method gives complete
record of the days run and each day
new chart is placed on the dial.
Equipment Very Complete
With the new improvements recent
ly made and the three means of gen.
Grating power-water, crude oil and
steam-it is safe to say that no plant
the size of Mr.. Burmeister's can be
found in the state to equal it's eff
cheney and service.
The many changes which have been
made in the wiring will mean better
service to many people may have ex-
perienced little trouble.
viii Build New Fiume
/ Mr.. Burmeister viii build a new
fume of larger capacity in the place
of the one which now carries the
water from the dam through the tun-
mel under Bridge Street. This work

New York, Dec. AT least twelve
British warships are patrolling the At

with their wireless, crowding ordinary
commercial radios from the air and
keeping close check on all forms of
shipping. according to wireless oper-
ators on the steamship Ancon, just

the operators said, is causing great

heard continually in utter disregard
of commercial business.
These warships,' the Ancon's OPP
orator said, pay no attention to the
rules governing wireless operations.
With their high power apparatus they
cut into the middle of a message and
absolutely disregarded all requests to
keep out.

The capture of Cracow has been one
of the main detectives of the Russian
campaign against Austria, on the the

Przemysl. the Galician fortress now
under siege, would mean Russian as
sendancy in that part of Austria which
lies north of the Carpathian noun

of extending their campaign beyond

Different Opinions in West.

Opinions differ sharply as to the in
tentions of Germany concerning OPP
erations in the west 1t is reported
that Germany is about to embark on
a new offensive movement that the
allies are about to assume the of
fensive: that the German line has
been weakened perceptibly. and that
a new German army is being rushed
into Flanders. Whatever the German
plan may be. official statements from
the opposing sides indicate there is
little actual fighting in the western
area.
The German official statement says
there is nothing of Importance to re-
port from the western (heater of war.
while the French statement says in
Belgium the Germans are remaining
on the Defensive; that the enemy's
artillery fire has been feeble, and
that the allies have made progress at
certain points In the vicinity of Fay
the allies say they hold positions
which they occupied Nov. 2S.
In the region of Scissors, according
to the French statement, there has
been an intermittent artillery fire di-
rected against the town. In the Ar
gonne the French say several at
tacks on the town of Dagatelle were
repulsed.
Russia's compaign against Turkey
likewise has reached period of in
activity. The latest report from the
Russian army of the Caucasus Is to
the effect that no movements of i'm
portance are under way.
