MOTORS NOW AVAILABLE ON STANDARD LIFE-LINE MOTORS IN RATINGS FOR 60% OF INDUSTRY'S REQUFRIMpjfi To meet iodustry's urgent need for more--and bettermotors, Westinghouse embarked two years ago on the biggest engineering and manufacturing program ever undertaken in this field. Industrial buyers were surveyed to find the improve* ments most desired in existing standard motors. These improvements were incorporated, for the first time, in a single motor--the Life-Line--a motor designed, jrom scratch> to user specifications. To build the Life-Line motor, a complete new plant was purchased, tooled and equipped from the ground . up, with machines and new techniques never used before to manufacture motors. Today, u>e announce the attainment ojourfirst objective. The new Life-Line motor is now available frorn^s^^^ in standard types from I to li hp. ' This objective was selected as of first importance, since 60% of standard, integral horsepower motors required by industrial users fall in this classification. Motor types included in stock are described, on the opposite page. On "near-standard" motors, also described, short deliveries are available in these sizes. Improved deliveries on special types and larger .ratings will be the subject of future announcements, as quickly as increased output makes them possible. Watch for them . . . phone your orders from this stock list to your nearest Westinghouse representative.
