 GIVE COMPLETE SATISFACTION.

 The Ball Dynamo 
 
 Has now been in general use throughout Canada, the 
 United States, Great Britain, South and Central 
 America and the Republic of Mexico for the last eight 
 years, and its many advantages are so universally con- 
 ceded that we do not propose to go extensively into its 
 electrical and mechanical points of superiority. 
 
 We wish, however, to impress the public with the 
 fact that our double armature dynamos have the same 
 advantage over single armature dynamos, that the 
 double cylinder or compound steam engine has over 
 single cylinder engines. This advantage is of course 
 most noticeable in power saved, but it also makes a 
 showing in the steadiness of the Ball Arc Lamps, to 
 which the Ball Dynamo supplies a perfectly steady 
 and constant current, and the mechanism of the lamps 
 is such as to feed the carbons positively, and regularly, 
 and thus constantly maintain an Arc of defined length 
 between the carbon points, thus doing away with all 
 hissing aud flickering, which is so common in all other 
 systems and especially noticeable in them when car- 
 bons are feeding. 
 
 The durability of the Ball Dynamo is principally 
 due to the double armature feature on account of small 
 amount of wire necessary to produce the required 
 force and therefore less heating from resistance of 
 said wire. The splendid workmanship and quality of 
 material used in the construction of our dynamo 
 frames are acknowledged by the best known machine 
 and engine builders in Canada. We have been manu- 
 facturing Electric lighting apparatus in Canada nine 
 years, or since 1882, and are therefore the oldest 
 manufacturers of Electric lighting apparatus in Can- 
 ada. We have built our present improved dynamo 
 for eight years past, which fact gives us ground for

Phenomenal Success 
 
 HAS ATTENDED THE INTRODUCTION 
 
 OF 
 
 Ball Economy 
 Apc Lig^ht System. 
 
 March ist, 1889, we shipped our first 4 Ampere 
 
 Dynamo to operate Arc Lamps of 1,000 Nomi- 
 nal Candle- Power ; since the above date we 
 have installed thirty-six plants, operating about 2,000 
 Arc lamps of this class for street, commercial and 
 factory lighting. This indicates the novelty and merit 
 of this system of Arc Lighting, as nine out of ten 
 recent purchasers have adopted it after investi- 
 gating the 2,000 candle-power apparatus of our own 
 and other Company's manufacture. 
 
 Previous to the above date we had manufactured 
 the 2,000 c. p. apparatus for about seven years, but 
 to-day the 1,000 c. p. is the leading light. The U. S. 
 Ball Electric Light Co. have sold this 4 amp. system 
 for four years past, so purchasers can be assured that 
 it is no experiment, but at the same time no other 
 Company has been able to produce this class of light, 
 nor is it possible to with any other machine than the 
 Ball Double APmatUPe Dynamo.

 ♦♦♦♦♦♦ 
 
 S^The Arc is not subdivided iiorizontally (by using low vol*qige 
 which would produce a poor light), but quantity of current pass- 
 ing is divided, and higher electro-motive force used, thus main- 
 taining a long Arc. 
 
 This is the most economical noiseless and steady arc light 
 known. 
 
 We guarantee to produce these lights on less than one-third of 
 a horse-power each, and the economy in the introduction of this 
 dynamo as compared with incandescent lighting can readily be 
 seen. In producing a light of this power and cheapness we be- 
 lieve that we fully overcome any objections heretofore raised to 
 the use of the arc light in machine shops, stores and factories, as the 
 lesser cost per light and the economy in running will enable the 
 purchaser, by putting a slightly larger number of the i,ooo c. p. arcs 
 to thoroughly distribute the light, thus overcoming the shadows 
 from the more powerful arc lights, and thoroughly light the pre- 
 mises at much less expense than by any incandescent system. 
 The i,ooo c. p. arc will also, in our opinion, supersede 2,000 c. p. 
 lights for city and town lighting where shade trees have made 
 economical lighting by lights of large candle-power placed at 
 g;eat distances an impossibility. 
 
 We continue to make as before, our 6, 8J and 10 Ampere Dyna- 
 mos and Lamps, with the same attention to mechanical and 
 electrical detail, good work and a superiority of finish, that has 
 in tlie past secured for them a national reputation.

 We guarantee our 4 Ampere or 800 c. p. Dynamos to give the 
 most perfect results for Man afactu ring KHtahliahnientit 
 
 and for Street Lighting. Power required less than i of a horse

 Gentlemen,— In reference to your 4 ampere 1,000 nominal 
 candle power Arc lighting system we consider it a better invest- 
 ment than H ampere 2,000 c. p., as we lind that we can get a sub- 
 scriber to take a 1,000 c. p. lamp for a small shop when we could 
 not get them to takr a 2,000 c. p. lamp, and in a large shop 2-1,000 
 c. p. lamps are far superior to one 2,000 c. p. lamp at about tne 
 
 *^ '1 1116^ cost 
 
 This plant started the 30th of last November, and we are now 
 running 59 Arc lamps and 43 Incandescent in a village of 3.000 
 population. We are thoroughly satisfied with the 1,000 c p. 
 system, and would not exchange for 2,000 c p. system. 
 
 The merchants of our village are very well pleased with the 
 light also the Corporation with the street lights, they started with 
 nine amps last fall, and are going to put in three more shortly. 
 Yours respecttully,

 Gentlemen,— We have been running two of your 25-light, 1,000 
 nominal c. p. (or 800 actual c. p.) Dynamos at Napa City Cal., 
 since the commencement of th'. year. About thirty of the lights 
 are used for street illumination, the balance for private use. Dur- 
 ing this time the expense incurred for repairs has not been one 
 cent The light is pure white, does not hiss, and is fully the 
 equal in steadiness of the very b st systems of arc lighting upon 
 this coast. We beheve th. he volume of light given from our 
 800 c. p. lamps is in excess oi ...at c. p. ; and we have the opinion 
 of several of the most prominent electricians in the state that the 
 Ball 800 c. p. lamp equals in illuminating power the so-called 1,600 
 and 2,000 c. p lamps of other systems. Our customers and our- 
 selves are much pleased with the light.

 Gentlemen,— Ronardinn the success of thu 4 ampere system, 
 we would say we are very much pleased with it, and tor elth(!r 
 street or shop liji;htinn we think it preferable ami more; economi- 
 cal than 8 ampere (or 2,000 r. p.) system, a plant of which we are 
 also operatlnj;, 
 
 As to economy of operating 4 ampere system we are not in a 
 position to speak, as we hire our power at present, but we cer- 
 tainly do net require as much carbon as for H ampere system. 
 
 We would recommend Corporations or Companies requiring 
 Electric Light to try the •' Ball " 4 ampere '^ystem.

 Dear Sirs,— When I first purchased the 25-light, 800 c. p. Ball 
 Machine, I was operating about 275 16 c. p. incandescent lights, 
 taking 30 to 35 h. p. I have gradually displaced both gas and in- 
 candescent lighting with the 800 c. p. arc, with less cost to con- 
 sumer and more profit to myself. Am now running about seventy 
 800 c. p. arc lamps with an expenditure not to exceed 2\ h. p., in- 
 chiding countershaft and two miles circuit. '1 he lights are steady 
 and brilliant, being pure white, noiseless anil in every respect a 
 model light. Have been under no expense for repairs on either 
 lamps or Dynamo since purchased. In fact lamps have run since 
 placed without cleaning. I am in every respect well pleased 
 with the system, and any increase in my plant will mean more 
 Ball 800 c. p. arce

 Providence, R. L, July 25th i88b. 
 
 Gentlemen, — We have in use one 35-light machine which you 
 furnished us in the spring of 1885, and one 70-light machine 
 which you furnished us in the fall of 1H87, The 35-light machine 
 is 1,200 c. p., and the 70-light machiiie is 800 c. p. 
 
 In regard to the running of these machines, it is fair to state 
 that the repairs on them since we have owned them have been 
 practically nothing. We consider that we make a large saving in 
 the expense of running, on account of their taking less power 
 than some other makes, and on the whole we think that the lamps 
 give the steadiest light that we have. Forty-one of the lights on 
 the 70-light machine took the place of what were originally 2,000 
 c p. lights, and we did not in placing; them increase the number 
 of lights at all, so that we are w-w lighting the same space with 
 forty-one %00'c.p. lights as we formerly did with forty-one 2,000 
 c. p. We have no hesitation whatever in recommending your 
 system, and consider it first-class in every respect, and should 
 we need any further machinery in this line, we should certainly 
 correspond with you. The machines give us entire satisfaction 
 in every respect.

 central station linhtinK. I started with 24 lights on a 25-light 
 machine; the (piality of the light was such that I was very soon 
 compelled to put in a second order for another 24-lighter. This 
 v/as also .5oon filled, and I ordered a 70-lighter. Now I have this 
 about full, and will be compelled to order another 25-lighter in 
 addition. The quality of the light is all that could be desired : 
 they equal in brilliancy many of tiie "so-called" 2,000 c. p. I 
 have had considerable experience <n the Electric light business, 
 and can say I don't think the " Ball " 800 has an equal for steadi- 
 ness and econoniy.

 Dear Sir —Yours of the 22nd, " Re-Electric Lights," received. 
 I think you need not be afraid of the competition of any Com- 
 pany running 2,000 c. p. lights. For all practical purposes the 
 Ball 1,000 c. p. lights are just a.5 good. Our people were much 
 p\r used with those they saw at St. Mary's, and quite a number of 
 the Council who composed the deputation are in favor of using 
 all 1,000 c. p. lights for the City, ,. , r 
 
 The working of the lights w • i mo?!; satisfactory. I think for 
 general use the 1,000 c. p, lights will supersede the 2,000 c. p. 
 As to Incandescent lighting, they appear to be much better on 
 the 4 ampere circuit than on the 8 or lO ampere, I think you have 
 the best system that is at present in the market, and I have seen 
 most of them

 THE BALL ARC LAMPS 
 
 Are of neat appearance and substantial construction. 
 There are no springs, friction clutches or glycerine 
 dash-pots in them to lose adjustment, but every move- 
 ment is positive and mechanical. They do not wear 
 or get out of order, and will run for years without 
 repairs and with but slight attention. Their opera- 
 tion is unaffected by vibrations caused by storms, or 
 jarring from machinery or other causes, and will be 
 found reliable at all times. They do not " burn out," 
 neither do they require constant cleaning and watch- 
 ing, as do those of other systems. The light given is 
 white, powerful, steady and noiseless. 
 
 (Practical Electricity y August, 1889). 
 
 Some weeks ago the gas company at South Norwalk, 
 Conn., purchased a fifty horse-power Otto gas engine', 
 two 70-light 4-ampere Ball Dynamos and 140 Ball Arc 
 Lamps, each of 800 candle-power. These were duly 
 installed on a six mile circuit. We are now reliably 
 informed that in the operation of these lights only 
 7,000 cubic feet of gas are consumed in every four and 
 one-half hours' run. Computing gas at fifty cents per 
 thousand feet, it will seem that sixty-five cents per 
 hour will cover the cost, for fuel, of the stated number 
 o^ lights. That the Ball Company's new system is 
 making a profound impression wherever used, is evi- 
 denced also by data which come to us from the 
 Province Worsted Mills; in 1885 ninety-five Ball 
 lamps were put into these mills ; in 1887 one hundred 
 more, and in 1888 thirty-five more were added. Dur- 
 ing the present month three hundred more (most of 
 them 800 candle-Dower each) arp hmna in«toii«/^ 
 This means a grand total of 760 lights, a fine tribute, 
 surely, to the worth of the systein.

 ON THE MOST FAVORABLE TERMS. 
 
 Our Incandescent Dynamo has the same advantages 
 over other Incandescent Dynamos that our Arc has 
 over other Arc Dynamos. 
 
 It is, like t.n x\rc, self -regulating, and will carry 
 from one up to its rated capacity without attention, 
 and therefore we offer with it none of the mechanical 
 devices and attachments necessary with the Dynamos 
 of other systems. 
 
 13 
 
WE GUARANTEE 
 
 That our Incandescent lamps can be produced 13 to 
 theH.P. 
 
 That our dynamos produce steady lights when rea- 
 sonably goo4 power is supplied. 
 
 That lamp3 retain their brilliancy and last longer 
 than on any other system. Reason for above— Perfec- 
 tion in regulation.

Electric Motors. 
 
 /7^UR Motors are designed after the most approved 
 forms ; the mechanical construction is the best 
 and with proper care they will last an indefinite length 
 of time. They have no dead centres. 
 
 The Motors vary in their construction to meet the 
 requirements of the different electric circuits. It is 
 necessary to know the character of the electric circuit 
 from which the motor is to be operated. If arc, the 
 current in amperes ; if the circuit is incandescent, its 
 rated number of volts must be stated. With this in- 
 formation a Motor can be provided of the size and with 
 the attachm.ents which the work to be done requires. 
 
 The regulation of our Motors is practically perfect. 
 In the Incandescent Motors, owing to the careful pro- 
 portioning ul the resistance of field magnets and arma- 
 ture, scarcely any variation in speed is noticeable 
 between full and light load, and this regulation im- 
 proves in the larger sizes. The Arc Motors are the 
 best governed and most economical on the market. 
 
 In writing, state nature of work required of the 
 Motor and probable amount of power needed, also 
 character of the electric light circuit. 
 
 We build several different designs, some with one 
 and some with two armatures.
