Use Electricity Exclusively.
There is a shop in New York city 350
fect long and fifty-five feet wide, where
are driven by electric
motors The tools are all large, and in-
ude a fifteen-foot boring mail, a tens
foot planer, two cighteeu.lach slottin
machioes, a seventy inch Inthe an
a number of portable drills. The current
for the motors is supplied by two forty
| horse. pover dynamos driven by belts
from a 100 horse-power vertical engine.
The majority of the motors arc of ten
| horsepower, but there is one of five
horsepower on a horizontal drill and
several of 24 horse-power on the portable
Idrill,. The current for each motor
{can be regulated by a resistance coil so
{ that the motor will pick up its Joad
gradually, increasing its powsr as
{the load is increased. The planers re-
| quired special attention on account of
| the reciprocating motion of the bed.
| These planers return about three times
| as fast as the cutting stroke, and it was
‘soon found that at each reverse the
| power required ran from 15 to 18 horse.
| power, the momentum of the armature
alone not being sufficient to carry it owner
without poticeably reducing the & of
the motor. Accordingly a fily-wheel was
placed on the motor shaft to store up
energy like the fly-wheel of a steam
engine and give it out when the revorse
takes piace. The machines are all start.
ed by means of a switch placed handy to
the machinist, and no current is used ex.
cept by the tools actually running. Th
shop has cnly been in operation a few
weeks, bat in this time it is reported that
the system has shown an economy of
seven per cent. over shafting. --| Boston
