A Dynamo Invention.

Fort Wayne Press. The largest arc lighting dynamo in the world was completed and tested at the Fort Wayne Electric Company’s works yesterday. It is the latest invention of Superintend ent Woods. This dynamo is an entirely newclepartu re bn all apparatus heretofore constructed for a like purpose. It produces 150 arc lights at the exceedingly low speed of 500 revolutions per minute, and is absolutely automatic in its operations, as any number of lights down to nothing, can be turned on or off at will, the power consumed being only in proportion to the number of lamps burning. This dynamo was designed to meet the requirements of the Detroit Lighting Commissioner’s specifications, but it exceeds their requirements in all important features, and, as Mr. Woods puts it, it is arc light machine several years in advance of the times.
