ANY BOY CAN MAKE A MOTOR
For a thing so important to modern life, the electric motor
is an amazingly simple device. Any bright boy can follow in.
structions and make one that
will run.
But fitting electric motors to the world's work is a man's job.
What makes it complicated is that every task, to be done effi- ciently, requires a certain kind of motor. Westinghouse, for example, makes over 20,000 dif- ferent types, sizes and ratings. Add to this, the thousands of
other famous electrical prod. ucts Westinghouse makes...for your home, for industry, com- merce and power stations. Add also the more than fifty years' experience of this company. You will then more fully appre- ciate the wealth of electrical ability that is back of every. product bearing the Westing- house nameplate. You will bet. ter understand why any West- inghouse electrical product will give you the utmost in satisfac- tion, quality and performance.
