·FOR EVERY PURPOSE
Electrifying
the World
Three great problems were involved in electrifying the world.
First-The economical generation of electric energy. Second-Its far transmission and wide distribution. Third-Its practical application to use.
Prominent in the solving of these problems has been Westinghouse Electric, and to
it is due much of the progress of the use of electricity, in power plants, central stations,- railway and steamship linea, inanufacturing industry and household convenience.
Westinghouse Electric harnessed the power of Niagara Falls.
It made practical the Parsons steami turbine for electric generation,
It perfected reduction gears by which the terrific velocity of the turbine generatur could be safely yoked to the propeller shafts of steamships.
!!
Westinghouse Electric developed the transformer by which 'alternating current came into general use, effecting wide and more economical distribution of electric energy,
It developed the induction motor which to-day does such a large share of the world's work.
Westinghouse the Institution-stands a dominant figure at the parting of the ways Setween the age of steam and the age of electricity.

A letter written on the subject to Colonel House, so long Mr. Wilson's
close friend and confidential adviser, by Dr. Paul Mantoux, official inter. preter at the Peace Conference, has caused considerable excitement in Paris. Dr. Mantoux says: When the Armistice Convention was draft
