We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

60 MOTION PICTURE PROJECTION sure of 500 volts or 500X20=10,000 Watts or 10 K. W. On the secondary we have 200 amperes at a pressure of 50 volts or 200X50=10,000 Watts or 10 K. W. So we see that the wattage on the primary is equal to the wattage on the secondary, assuming that there is no loss in transformation. We know that there are two forms of losses in all transformers, the iron or core loss and the copper or coil loss. These losses total about 10 per cent. The core losses are going on as long as the switch on line side of the transformer is closed ; in other words Powers Inductor Connected to Two Arc Lamps while the transformer is carrying a no-load current. The copper losses only take place while the arc is burning or current is being drawn from the secondary coil. Let us suppose the primary coil is drawing 20 amperes at a pressure of 100 volts, the wattage in the primary circuit would be 100X20=2,000 Watts. Let us assume that the losses in transformation is 10 per cent, this would mean that the wattage on the secondary circuit would be 2,000 Watts less 10 per cent or 1,800 Watts. Transformers should always be connected between the machine switch and the arc lamp, so that when
