Abstract
IN NATURE, vol. xx. p. 641, you say, “For the first time perhaps in the history of electric lighting two rival magnetoelectric machines are illuminating the same hall”. I can state an earlier instance, though not an exact parallel. At the annual fair of the American Institute, held in New York during September, October, and November, 1878, the main hall was illuminated by the Wallace-Farmer machine and light, and the machinery hall—directly communicating with it, by the Brush apparatus. The two halls form practically one.
