I do not know of any instance of sewing machinery in a factory being driven by an electromotor, but such means of conveying motive power appears admirably adapted for that purpose, when the stitching room happens to be far removed from the main shafting or engine.
The electromotor was invented by Professor Jacobi; it virtually consisted of two disks, one of which was stationary, and carried a number of electromagnets, while the other disk was provided with pieces of iron serving as armatures to the pole pieces of the electromagnets, which were attracted while the electric current was alternately conveyed through the bobbins by means of a commutator, producing continuous rotation.
A dynamo is thus a machine so adjusted that when mechanical motion is supplied to it the energy of motion is converted into electricity; while an electromotor, on the other hand, is a piece of apparatus so designed that when electricity is applied to it, it is converted into motion. A steam engine, again, is designed to convert potential or passive energy into active energy.
By the use of a powerful electromotor, the shafting is caused to rotate at the rate of 400 revolutions per minute by electricity. The current is generated by the Society's dynamo machine, and is conveyed here by copper cable.
