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 lines, manufacturing industry and household convenience.

Westinghouse Electric harnessed the power of Niagara Falls

It made practical the. Parsons steam turbine for electric generation

It perfected reduction gears by which the terrific velocity of the turbine generator could be safely yoked to the propeller shafts of steamships.

"

Westinghouse Electric developed the transformer by which alternating curent 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 between the age of steam and the age of electricity.
