In 1879 he lighted up AdamForepaughs Circus ; a few days later the Detroit Recreation Park, the DetroitGrand Opera Mouse, etc. These exhibitions attracted the attention of capitalists,who cheerfully offered their assistance, and the experimenting shops were trans-ferred to the Detroit Novelty Works, in Hamtramck, where several new machineswere built and experiments continued, until in 1880, when a company was formedto enter upon the manufacture of the electric-light machinery. Finding, how-ever, that Detroit was not the real field, the company was transferred to Chicago,Illinois, where a new company was formed, being the one in existence to-day.During all this time Van Depoele has been hard at work to improve his system,and this by practical experience, and no guess work, until to-day this companycan boast of having the most perfect and simple system in the market.

Fig. i. Van Depokle Dynamo, wiiii \\ roMATic Regulatoi Description of the Van Depoeee System. THE main features of the Van Depoele dynamo consist in the peculiar disposi-I tion of the field magnets, the construction of the armature, the extreme sim-plicity of all parts of the apparatus ( it having fewer parts than any other dynamomade), great compactness, and, above all, the ease of management and controlof the current to the work called for. Fig. i shows the dynamo with automaticcurrent regulator. The principal parts of the dynamo are: THE FIELD MAGNETS,consisting of two large coils of copper wire wound around two soft-iron cores,their north and south poles facing each other, and between these poles revolvesthe armature. The soft-iron cores of the field magnets are cast on one end toheavy back plates, while to the other end are secured the semi-circular pole piecesbetween which the armature revolves in close proximity to the latter. The backplates of the magnets are secured between tVanDepoeleElectricLightCompanyManufactureSingleAndMultipleCurrent
