and best apparatus. In the dynamo laboratory are various sizes and types of direct and alternating current dynamos, motors and rotary converters; transformers for all classes of polyphase testing; direct and alternating current switchboards, of eight marble panels each, with every appliance for expeditious handling of electric currents. Stock, tools, and instruments of best quality are provided for each line of work. The standardizing and photometry rooms, the research and thesis rooms are equipped as may be required for special and advanced work. The workshop of this department is fitted for the several branches of electrical construction. Power is supplied from the storage battery installation of this department and from the University electric light and power plant, adjoining, in the same building, in which the direct and alternating current dynamos, driven by steam engines, also afford many facilities for experimental work.
