Journal of electricity. paced aquarter of an inchapart and perforatedwith half-inch holes,affording ampleopenings for the pas-sage of the waterthrough the lid which lockstightly when thewasher is in opera-tion, is provided inthe cylinder for in-serting the clothesand removing- themfro m the rotating cylinder. The cylinder makes a complete revolution in onedirection and then reverses. The wringer is supported by an upright arm extendingfrom one corner of the washer. It is provided with a safetyrelease which enables the operator to stop the rolls immedi-ately if they get choked or overloaded, simply by pressing thelever on top of the wringer. The wringer will swing to anyposition and can be locked in any desired position. The power is transmitted both to the wringer and washerby shaft drive. All gears are machine cut and run in are encased in metal shields.

In the usual form or multi-gap shunt resistance arrester,the resistances shunt the this form, the gaps shuntthe resistances. The gaps aremounted on and insulated fromthe resistance rods. The ar-rangement of the gaps and re-sistances is shown in Pig. 2 andin Fig. 3. Sensitiveness to lightning-disturbances is obtained bythis combination of gaps andresistance rods used as shunts,all mounted in a porcelain reason of this combina-tion of gaps and resistances,the arrester will discharge atlow rises in potential, is sensi-tive to lightning over a widerange of frequency, and
