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.
