Electric-Lighting for Trains No. 672, W. GUILLOTT, of Chicago, 111. The invention relates to power-devel-oping appliances adapted to be usedupon moving bodies—such, for exam-. ple, as railway-trains and the like. The invention is particularly adaptedto be used for lighting the moving bodywith which it is associated, as in thecase of railway-trains. When a rail-way-train, for example, is moving at ahigh rate of speed, its motion is great-ly retarded by the atmosphere strik-ing against the exposed parts of thetrain. The object is to utilize this retardingeffect of the atmosphere which neces-sarily accompanies the operation ofrailway-trains to generate power to beused in operating lighting devices orother desired devices located upon thetrain. The inventor says: In the application of the invention Iprovide a motor adapted to be operatedby the wind, and I locate this motorupon the body or train, so that whensaid body or train is in motion the rel-ative motion of the motor and the at-mosphere will cause said motor to re-volve, and thus operate any suitablemechanism which may be connectedtherewith. I prefer to place the motorin front of an exp
