The rotary con-verter, which was exhibited at the Paris Exposition, only to a verysmall extent, will be a large feature at the coming fair, and Europeanengineers less familiar with this type of machine will have opportuni-ties of getting convinced of the excellent qualities of these machinesand their feasibility for sub-station work. As is well known, theEuropean practice tends more to the motor-generator, and the generalopinion there is that it is in many respects superior to the mm^^^^ ^v^feu^* ^^^^^^^^^^E ???
