Fig. 1.
MODE OF ERECTING MACHINES—NO. 2

Fig. 2.
MODE OF ERECTING MACHINES—No. 3
Modification of Plan No. 2. Machines and Driving Shaft on Main Floor. Intermediate Platform over Shaft. Good Plan, but inferior to No. 1.
Fig. 3.
Each machine requires somewhat less than one-quarter of a horsepower to drive it, but the allowance of one-half horsepower is recommended to insure steadiness of motion.
Each machine, including overhanging projections, is a little less than five feet square.
In placing machines allowance must be made for space sufficient to pass around and between them, and for seat of operator in front. A liberal allowance is 7x10 feet.
The driving pulley of the machine is 14½ inches in diameter and should be driven at about 62 revolutions per minute. Never to exceed 66. Any arrangement of shafting and pulleys which will secure this speed will answer.
Linotype Motor.
The Linotype Company has recently had a specially designed electric motor built which is adapted for speedy application to Linotype machines. These motors are cheap, compact, reliable and pleasing in appearance. Their application demands no change in the machine except to remove the driving pulley and substitute a gear wheel furnished with the motor.
The only connection required is the extension of a wire to an ordinary incandescent lamp socket or other suitable source of electric power. The use of these motors avoid the necessity for countershafts, pulleys and belts, and greatly improve the appearance of the office.
Motors wound for 115, 230 and 500 volts are carried in stock. The price, with all
