Thepower-house, being located at some distance from thedwelling, wherein is located the switchboard, the mainstop gate valve was placed in the pipe line at a pointsome 200 feet from the dwelling. The gate valve isoperated by a system of levers and a wire cable ter-minating in a winding drum. By this means thewheel may be started or stopped and hand regulationobtained without the necessity of journeying to thepower house for this purpose. Belted to the electric generator is a Pelton 24-inchtype C motor of similar design to the illustrationherewith, but equipped with a regulating nozzle whichis manually operated. As the entire number of lights. Genrrator. installed do not burn continuously, the needle nozzleis set to carry the maximum night load. Then as theload gradually drops a solenoid device cutting in andout a resistance, maintains a constant load on thewheel, thus insuring uniform speed. This regulator consists of a group of resistances,which are shunted across the main terminals of thegenerator, through solenoid switches. These solenoidsare placed in series with the main load circuits, and aredesigned in such a way that if the load, or any partof it, is suddenly removed, the switches will closeand shunt in an equivalent amount of resistance, so
