The dynamo as a generator and the dynamo as a motorhave already revolutionized electrical economics and relegatedthe battery to an honored position among things of the electric motor is now extensively used in large townsand cities, in factories where power is not continuouslyneeded. Its widest application at in the propul-sion of street cars. The current is generated by dynamos atsome central power house and thence distributed to themotors at various points on the circuit.
