NEW ONE KW. GAS ELECTRIC GENERATING SET. on board boats. This set comprises asingle cylinder, vertical, 2-cycle watercooled gasolene engine direct connectedto a 1 kw. D. C. generator. The regula-tion and steadiness of the voltage of thisset is so good that it is possible to supplycurrent direct from the generator, thusavoiding the expense of installing andmaintaining a large battery and the lossof power and troubles incidental to theoperation of the latter. The engine is provided with a suctiongasolene pump for lifting fuel from atank placed under ground and located atsome distance from the engine, thus ful-filling the requirements of the NationalBoard of Fire Underwriters. The cooling is by thermo siphon, thus manufactures for use with these sets asuitable board for controlling both thegenerating set and such a battery, as wellas two types of switchboard for controll-ing the set alo
