Abstract
THE advantages of electric transmission of power in factories and workshops are not so well known as they might be, or the electric driving of machinery would be more extensively adopted than it is. Wherever electric motors have been made to do duty in machine shops, complete success has been attained, but it is only in late years that engineers and proprietors of factories have learned to make use of electric driving to any great extent. Lately, however, this branch of electrical engineering has been coming to the front, and it promises to develop into the most important branch of electrical work, electric lighting not excepted.
