Fig. 124 illustrates the Hallberg direct current econ-omizer as made for voltages ranging from 200 to 750, andthis outfit is a straight motor generator set in which, how-ever, the generator is of special construction, delivering asteady ampere flow to the arc without the use of a rheo-stat. The 200 to 750-volt outfit is also furnished com-plete with automatic starter and light controller, and be-sides this outfit has a pulley coupling between the motorand generator on which, in special cases, a belt may beplaced for driving the economizer by means of an engine,which would make the economizer operate a motion pic-ture arc just as it does when driven from an electric cir-cuit, and at the same time from the high voltage side cur-rent can be taken for driving fan motors, or a limitednumbe
