One method usesindividual driving fromeach engine to one or twodynamos located directly above, but a better one is tomake use of countershafts on the engine or dynamo floor, orboth. These countershafts are divided into sections andfitted with friction pulleys in such a way as to permit of anydesired combination of engines and dynamos, an arrange-ment best calculated to ensure uninterrupted service. Asimple example of such an installation is shown in Fig. 3,the lower view being an elevation. The engines are on thelower floor and the countershaft c on the upper floor, directly.
