West of the machine shop are several direct-con-nected and belt-driven generators, and a number of Cornish cycleengines direct-connected to generators: these sets being especiallyfor marine use. In the northwest corner of the space are a line ofpower motors arranged in the form of a pyramid, the smallest onesat the top. In the southwest corner is a series alternating arc light. FIG.

Opposite this are ornamental arc lamp stands fromwhich are suspended various types of arc lamps. There are also anumber of sewing machine motors in operation. Fan motors andceiling fans will be distributed throughout the space, suspended fromoverhead, and a number of boards containing supplies manufacturedby the leading companies throughout the country. .Above the space of the Electric Storage Battery Company is alarge map of the United States, approximately 40 ft. by 25 ft., whichindicates the location of each of the 1,700 electric battery installationsmade by this company. These are shown by different colored spotsof isinglass about one inch in diameter, which will be illuminatedby incandescent lamps mounted behind the map, the different colorsbeing as follows: Red lamps for railway plants; blue lamps forEdison plants; white lamps for te
