Last year my firm alone had orders for railway motors equaling in power 500,000 horses. Only a few years ago we surprised ourselves by making 125 electric lights in a week—a new record. To-day we are making about 2,000. A few years ago the average size of our motors was five horse-power. To-day it is fifty instead of five.”
