Excerpt from Electric Power on the Farm
In considering the extent to which electrification may be justified the following line of reasoning is suggested. It is assumed that the farmer desires electric light. This means a small gasoline engine and generator. When the engine is not running the generator, it may drive a line shaft belted to small power machines which are fixed in place. But if another and larger portable engine is required for other purposes, then the size of the plant should be increased somewhat, and an electric motor installed instead of the second engine. The generator will then have sufficient capacity-when the large motor is not in use to take care of any small motor load in the house, such as fan and washing machine motors, a flat iron, and perhaps even a small ice plant in the basement run by a half horse power motor.
