. Modern mechanism, exhibiting the latest progress in machines, motors, and the transmission of power, being a supplementary volume to Appletons' cyclopaedia of applied mechanics . Fifi. 47.—Sperrj fij-namo. DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINES. 217. Fig. 48.—Waterhouse dynamo-connections. lamp-line remjiins constant because the local circuit is increased proportionally to the de-crease of the field circuit. The remaining lamps, therefore, retain their full brilliancy, whiletlie current can not increase and de-stroy the apparatus. The regulator isillustrated diagraminatically in Fig. is operated by the slide, which iscontrolled by a solenoid. Any tenden-cy of the current to increase raises thecontact, and the result is a ofresistance in the local circuit and anincrease of resistance in the field cir-cuit. More current will therefore flowthrough the local circuit and lessthrough the field circuit. The gener-ating capacity of the dynamo is in-stantly reduced, and any tendency toproduce a current above the stanchirdis overcouie. Should the tendency oftlie current be to decrease, say by areduction of the speed of the armature,the slide lowers, increasing the resist-ance in the local and reducing it in thefield circui
