>Sitting here doing some casual reading of NAVSHIPS 93788 ( AKA TTY 
>Bulletin 270) I notice that the DC motor for a model 28 is also 
>listed for 25 cycle use. As far as I know the only things in the 
>universe wired for 25 cycles are a few major industrial plants in 
>the Buffalo area and parts of the New York City subway system. 
>Neither one seems like a major location for the Navy .....  Did good 
>old Thomas Edison get some of his gear onto a boat or two or is this 
>just a carry over from civilian usage? Inquiring minds want to know 
>....

>Has anybody *ever* seen a model 28 set up on 25 cycle power?
