The points are con-nected between generator lead and ground, andthe small air gap is a much weaker dielectric thanthe insulation of field and armature. The magnetis connected between the generator and line, andthe induction of its windings afford additional pro-tection to the generators against lightning. The field rheostat for controlling the potentialdue to the shunt field is placed at the back of thepanel, and is of the Carpenter enamel type. It isoperated by a hand-wheel on the front of the. GENERATOR AND FEEDER PANELS FOR SWITCHBOARDS. Daniel J. Quinn, superintendent, of the AtlanticAvenue Railroad Company. Warrants were swornout against them by a former conductor and a mo-torman of the road who alleged that they had vio-lated the law which makes it a misdemeanor forany officer of a surface or elevated railroad com-pany in cities of over 100,000 inhabitants to compelemployes to work more than ten hours in anytwelve consecutive hours. The examination willtake place next week. On the following day another warrant wassworn out before a United States Commissioner,charging President Norton with violating theUnited States law by placing United States mailsigns on cars that did not carry mail.
