It is a Low Voltage System, ( 32 volts ). as this saves battery expense, at the same time it is sufficient voltage to operate light machinery, in addition to furnishing light for the house, barns and other buildings. It also enables the use of Standard Lighting Fix­ tures without the slightest danger in handling. The Gasoline Engine is of the air cooled type, with no danger of freezing, and being Self-starting, requires only the closing of a switch which starts the engine and automatically stops when the batteries are charged. The Batteries are of the sealed glass jar type and will not freeze at 20 degrees below zero. Any number of Lights may be installed up to 50, as the average farm uses only a few at a time. The Storage Battery alone will carry 15 twenty- watt lights for 8 hours, and when the engine is running, will carry 32 twenty-watt lights continuously. By using the same precaution as on a meter system the engine need only be run at intervals of perhaps twice a week to keep the batteries fully charged. As limited space prevents us giving a full description of this wonderful system.
