The Milbank Electric Light and
Power Co., have recently installed
a powerful gas engine at their
plant. The engine. which is a
Rathbone-Jones Gas Producer, is of
$50 horse power, manufactured at
Toledo, Ohio. the producer is a
Smith Of 200 horse power, man
ufactured at Lexington Ohio. The
generator IS a lOO-kiliowat
machine, manufactured by the
electrice machine company of Min
neapolis.
The new engine is seemingly a
very perfect and powerful machine,
and is provided with a complete
system for self-oiling. The
constantly increasing demands for
electric light and power necessitat-
ed the installing of this new engine.
The plant has heretofore been
operated BY two Mcneil gas engines
of so and 90 horse power re-
spectively, but the increasing de-
mands made upon these have been
such that additional power had 70
be obtained. and the new engine
will give the relief needed. Just
at present a shortage of the II
thracite buckwheat coal which is
used in the new producer is in
terferring with the new power, but
when this has been secured the
plant will have power to burn.
