Abstract

YOUR article of the 1st inst. on the International Electrical Exhibition (p. 522), says: “In those days (before 1879) two wrong notions misled people—the one, that the maximum efficiency of a perfect electromotor could be only 50 per cent.; the other, quoting the remarks of Sir W. Siemens, ‘in order to get the best effect out of a dynamo-electric machine, there should be an external resistance not exceeding the resistance of the wire in the machine.’”
