Here’s the Dyna-Line
ELECTRIC
Farmers have been looking for
Here’s a motor especially designed for farm use by Brown-
Brockmeyer Company. It has these two real advantages
not found in other motors:
Dyna-Line Motors start heavy loads easily, even in
sub-freezing temperatures. And they do it with low
starting current so they don’t rob the power line of
current needed for other installations.
Dyna-Line Motors will operate efficiently on as much
as 25% less current requirements than ordinary
standard motors.
