Hi
Sitting here doing some casual reading of NAVSHIPS 93788 ( AKA TTY
Bulletin 270) I notice that the DC motor for a model 28 is also listed
for 25 cycle use. As far as I know the only things in the universe
wired for 25 cycles are a few major industrial plants in the Buffalo
area and parts of the New York City subway system. Neither one seems
like a major location for the Navy ..... Did good old Thomas Edison
get some of his gear onto a boat or two or is this just a carry over
from civilian usage? Inquiring minds want to know ....
Has anybody *ever* seen a model 28 set up on 25 cycle power?
Enjoy!
