Fig. 241 is intended to show the application of the electric motor
to a centrifugal pump; these two machines are mounted on one bed
plate, directly connected by a flange coupling between them. The motor
shown, is almost identical with the machine illustrated, Fig. 217,
and described on page 251. The pump is so arranged that the discharge
can be turned in any direction desired. Wherever electric power is
available and the centrifugal pump is the form best adapted to the
work, this combination presents advantages over a steam engine operated
by a plain slide valve such as is generally used.
