Book Description
Excerpt from An Investigation of the Losses in Power Transmission and an Estimate of the Installation and Maintenance of an Electrically Driven Plant at the Janesville Machine Company The Janesville Machine Company, locatea at Janesville, 'wisconsin, manufactures agricultural implements, as plows, seeders, mowers, cultivators, harrows, listers, etc. They have been running for many years and have grown from a small concern to the present large proportions. As the business grew, building after building was added and, from an examination of the plant, one comes quickly to the conclusion that these buildings were erected without much consideration for economy in power transmission. There are many long shafts, one 112 feet long, running under the blacksmith shop, while another, 235 feet long drives the machinery in the warehouse machine sh0p. The long shaft mentioneo first is driven by bevel gears, probably fifteen years old and quite badly worn.
