TAKING CARE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS
Through the magic of electric motors, much of our work is done faster and better at lower cost than we could do it without the help of the electric motor. People who use motors and treat them properly have much more time for other work and for leisure time activities. A 1/4-horsepower motor running quietly and steadily hour after hour will do the work of one man, and operate all day for about 5 cents without tiring. On many jobs it will work without "supervision", turning on and off automatically, as required. It does this on water pumps, in heating and cooling units, and on fans and similar appliances.
All that a motor needs to do its work is electricity and a little care. Let's see what you can do to give proper care to motors in your home and on your farm.
