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.

80 OPERATION OF SET be beyond the safety allowance. The highest permissible temperature is 194° Fahrenheit. In order to test the temperature, use a thermometer which has its bulb encased in putty. Allow the putty to remain in contact with the motor until it has attained the full motor temperature and until the heat has penetrated the putty. The reading will then be close to accurate. If the temperature is 194° Fahrenheit, or above, look for trouble. (b) — In all probability the set is constantly being overloaded. Keduce this overload. (c) — If a Westinghouse series arc equipment is being used, be sure to keep both short-circuiting switches closed when idling, or else the field coils will become overheated. (d) — If a 110-volt motor is employed, it may be on the 220-volt wires of the three-wire system. Check this and change it if found at fault. The same applies to that case in which a 110-volt line is being used for a 220-volt motor.
