It is in this mannerthat not only the short lines in thecity of Buffalo are excited but the longdistance wires between this place andChicago, New York City, Boston, Phil-adelphia, Toronto and other remote andintermediate places receive their electri-cal supply, indirectly from the dynamosof the great Ellicott Square Building,the down-town home of the Buffalo Elec-trical Electrically Driven Telegraph Plant FIG. 3 20 Dynamotors.
