The Thompson Rlectric Company, formerly of Water-ford, Ont., but now manufacturing in Hamilton, inorder to meet this demand, prepared designs and con-structed in detail a complete new system of arc lighting,including an automatic generator, lamps, and all stationand outside accessories. They now offer a dynamo forwhich they claim some of the good features heretoforecommonly associated only with constant potential ma-chines, notably the suppression of sparking, a reallygenuine regulation, and a commercial efiiciency largelyover 50/, features which one cannot attribute generally Ari Ovnamo—Thompson Electric Co. a wide departure from former practice has taken plac
