Tried new dynamo first time last night; It developed so much power that the coil on the bobbin was torn to pieces.." Plans public demo os dynamo lighting carbon lamps "because everybody knows what thet carbon lamp is, and besides, because it isn't my lamp." Discusses distribution advantages of high-resistance lamp.
