The installation of the General Electric Company's 

 Induction Motors ensures the greatest possible output 

 and a low cost of operation and maintenance. 



The frame is so designed as to combine great strength 

 and rigidity with minimum weight. The open type of 

 construction e.xposes the outside of the stator lamina- 

 tions directly to the air, materially improves the cooling 

 of all parts of the motor, and avoids spaces for the ac- 

 cumulation of dust. 



The bearings are self aligning, of ample size, and 

 have liberal wearing surface. The oil wells are closed 

 by tightly fitting covers and the opening in the bearing 

 housing at both ends is closed with a washer which pre- 



vents the entrance of dust and dirt into the bearings. 

 The bearings are fitted with brass oil rings and the res- 

 ervoirs are provided with visible gauges which indicate 

 the amount of oil they contain. 



An especially valuable feature of these motors is the 

 entire absence of sparking, permitting their installation 

 in places where sparking might cause the ignition of 

 fine dust or even an e.xplosion. 



They can be operated in any position, it being only 

 necessary to turn the bearing bracket 90° and 180" rel- 

 atively to the frame to permit of their being mounted 

 on the wall or ceiling. 



These motors are supplied in all capacities and for all the standard voltages 

 and frequencies. Write for Bulletin 4641=2.
