Electrical Review Photo L. S. E. motors for BOILER HOUSE AUXILIARIES L.S.E. have specialised for many years in the manufacture of motors for the exacting service demanded of power station auxiliaries. The range of machines includes the “ N-S ” Variable Speed A .C . motor ; large direct starting squirrel cage motors, which may be of the “ Trislot ” high torque type when required ; and all standard types. The “ EM COL ” cooling system, enabling totally enclosed machines to be made of practically any required output, is also invaluable for many boiler house applications. (The illustration is of six265 H.P. 422 R.P.M. 3'3 K.V. direct starting squirrel cage “ EMCOL ” totally enclosed vertical spindle pump motors at LITTLE BARFORD power station. Other power stations recently described in the technical Press, for which we supplied many motors, include EARLEY and LLYNFI.) ( e o u r e c h m k J LAURENCE, SCOTT & ELECTROMOTORS LTD.

Volt and Amp, Mr. and Mrs. Watt and their relatives in the Electrical family are constantly getting disgruntled because these Micanite and Insulators people will keep them in their place. Every time they try to do a bit of quiet shorting or tracking they come up against a piece of Mica or Micanite or Paxolin or Panilax or Empire tape. It's all very distressing for Messrs. Volf and Amp etc., but it's highly approved by electrical Manufacturers w ho must keep electricity in its place. THE MICANITE & INSULATORS CO LTD EMPIRE WORKS. BLACKHORSE LANE .

There are local lighting reflectors, either Extensive (1), or Intensive (2) to be mounted on pendants, or there are 45° (3), or 90° types (4) to be mounted in positions where they will not cause glare in the eyes of others. Local reflectors are fitted on adjustable brackets (5) which can be rigidly locked in any desired position. From a distance the Intensolux (6) throw s a fairly narrow beam of light. It can often be placed high up out of the way. The miniature Intensolux (7) used with low voltage auto lamps gives a small circle of light from a shorter range. The illustrations are of fila ment reflectors, fluorescent tubular lighting often requires the use of supplementary units also. A This is sheet No. 12.
