FOR MANAGERS AND OPERATORS 31 A twenty-lamp circuit would have about 1,000 volts pressure. Each lamp must carry the entire pressure and all the current, which latter seldom exceeds ten amperes. You cannot connect a projection arc lamp to this system under any circumstances. Fig. 12 is a diagram of the multiple arc system of wiring, illustrating the method of connecting a projection lamp thereto. You may connect in anywhere, simply attaching one wire to one wire of the light circuit and the other wire to the opposite, being sure that the wires, switches, fuses, meters, etc., are large enougn to carry your current. Before connecting ascertain the voltage of course, and arrange the amount of your rheostat resistance accordingly. In practice lamps are not usually attached between 1.27y>^i»o J, , /!l\.tosid.i 3 ■ /4m p.. riGi2. u the main wires, as is shown in the illustration.

In this system two dynamos are run in series, producing a pressure across the outer wires of 220 volts (usually) or a pressure of 110 volts between cither the outer and center
