Discovery after discovery; invention after invention perfected-- until now, a fitting climax, the titanic force of electricity responds to the pressure of man's finger.

For as late as 1840 power was still furnished by hand; in 1860 a tread- mill was invented, a horse furnishing the power; in 1875 a vertical steam- plant on top of a boiler; in 1905 the horizontal engine and today, the acme of perfection, the induction motor directly connected with the machine without loss of power-the product of Westinghouse Electric.

And always to the forefront, in the march of electrical progress has been the great Westinghouse organization. Founded in 1886, it has ever proven worthy. Today it employs more than 40,000 workmen, the most skillful engineers and scientists. In 21 great factories it makes electrical equipment of all kinds. Its products reach

wherever there is electrical power in the world.
