THE PARIS EXHIBITION—ELECTRIC LIGHTING TRACTION ENGINE
On page 442 is illustrated a traction engine built by Messrs. Aveling and Porter, of Rochester, and fitted with a dynamo-electric machine for generating currents for field work. It will be seen that the dynamo is driven by gearing, one of the wheels being fitted with teeth made of vulcanized fibre. We shall not describe the engine now, as full particulars will be given in a subsequent article on the engines in the Paris Exhibition.
Messrs. Aveling and Porter's road locomotive and dynamo are shown by Fig. 96—engines of this type were sent to Suakim for military purposes.
