Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 November 1900 — A New Dynamo. [ARTICLE]

A New Dynamo.

The action of the City Council Monday in authorizing the purchase of a new incandescent light dynamo, for the city light plant, was necessary and commendible. The present dynamos are loaded beyond their capacity to produce good lights and besides several hundred lights more are needed , by people who can not be supplied until another and larger is installed.

It is proposed to put in a thoroughly reliable dynamo, of 2000 lamps capacity, and at a cost of about S9OO. Of the two incandescent light dynamos now in use, the larger, of about 800 light capacity, will be retained for future emergencies. (The smaller, of about 600 light capacity, will be disposed of.
