Excerpt from Dynamo Lighting for Motor Cars
We do not propose to enter into a technical description of the various workings of the dynamo lighting systems hereafter described, rather confining ourselves to the broad outline of their various features, and indicating the main points wherein the various systems differ, in the hope of enabling the reader to bring an intelligent working knowledge to bear on the machine with which he has to do.
Electric lighting systems may be compared for practical purposes to a water pumping plant, and may be divided into four separate parts: 1. The dynamo, which raises the pressure of electricity to the right voltage, as the pump raises the pressure of water to the necessary "head." 2. The accumulator or storage battery, which stores the electricity similarly as the tank or reservoir stores the water pumped up. 3. The electric lamps or bulbs, which use up the stored electrical energy much as a water motor or fountain uses it; and 4. The wiring and switches, corresponding to the piping and taps of a hydraulic system.
