that it will be impossible under the ordi-
nary conditions of operation to ground or
cross them on themselves or on the arma-
ture circuit; if separately excited the ex-
citing dynamo(s) also shall be subject to
the general conditions given above, shall
operate at a potential not exceeding
volts, shall be of ample capacity to excite
the fields of dynamo(s) (each) having
a capacity of kilowatts, and shall
operate with no appreciable sparking at
the brushes.

(See Note: p. 48, sec. 23.)

There shall be provided with each dynamo one ampere meter for indicating the current supplied by the dynamo; one voltmeter or pressure indicator which shall remain constantly in circuit so as to indicate continuously the pressure on the primary mains at the point to which it is connected, and shall be so constructed that the scale is plainly visible at a dis

There shall be placed upon this switchConnections. board, in addition to the dynamo regulating apparatus, such switches, cut-outs and other appliances as are necessary for the proper and convenient manipulation. of the circuits, such appliances to be

named by each bidder in his proposal.

The appliances and connections shall be such as will permit the operation of any dynamo on any circuit or number of circuits, and the cutting in or out of any dynamo or circuit with certainty and rapidity without in any manner affecting the operation of other dynamos or circuits. (They shall also be arranged in such manner as to render it possible to connect two dynamos in parallel by an arrangement of switches or combination of circuits.)
