If you purchase a used set, wiring directions may be had from the Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co., East Pittsburgh, for the asking. Just send them an exact copy of everything found on the name plate of the machine, being very sure to write your name and address very clearly. To operate series arcs first close all switches in operating circuits, start the motor generator and let it come up to full speed. As soon as it is running normally, with all switches, etc., in normal position for running, OPEN THE SHORT CIRCUITING SWITCH OF THE LAMP YOU WILL BE USING, and as soon as the voltmeter shows about 100 volts, strike the arc you propose to use in the usual way by bringing the carbons together and separating them immediately, adjusting the arc to normal length. When starting the equipment it is best to have all the switches closed so as to operate the generator on a closed circuit, because the generator volt
