A large-format blueprint-style table displaying technical specifications for electrical power generation and distribution systems. The chart includes data on lamp capacities, dynamo ratings, engine horsepower, boiler specifications, and spatial requirements for installation. Each row represents a different system setup, detailing component sizes and power outputs. This document likely served as a reference for engineers designing and implementing electrical infrastructure in the late 19th or early 20th century.
This document appears to be a detailed specification chart outlining various electrical system components, likely from the Edison Machine Works or a related company. It provides an organized breakdown of lamps, dynamos, engines, boilers, and floor space requirements for different system configurations. As a mechanical draftsman and a patents expert, Lewis Latimer worked for the Edison Company on complex lawsuits in which different companies challenged each other over patent infringement. He may also have done some of this work on a freelance basis for other clients.
