Low resistance carbonbrushes are used, and many months ofconstant wear show very little deterioration of these brushes. This dynamo i^wholly constructed in its essential mag-netic parts of soft rolled steel, die formed,and very carefully made. Everything thatdeveloped knowledge, financial enterprircand engineering care and skill couldachieve has been employed to make thisheadlight a success. These form the basison which the company request tlie patron-age of railroad companies.

It uses the steam with faireconomy and will work a long time beforethe deterioration due to wear will renderit wasteful of steam. The dynamo is of peculiar field is differentially wound, and it isclaiined that the electric circuits are so ar-ranged that a burned-out armature is im-possible. Should a short circuit occurupon any point of the circuit, the currentis killed, and no matter how long the en-gine may run or the armature rotate therewill be no production of current whateveruntil the short circuit is removed. Assoon as this is done the dynamo performsits proper functions and operates as current densities throughout thewhole machine are very low, so that ami
