But one ies not need to have cables rrying 240V all over the garage By using a low voltage trans-mer an adequate inspectionnp system can be provided in e largest workshop. It can be ranged with bare wires carried Dh in the roof, power for the rious handlamps being picked through a long handle and a iir of pick-up shoes at the top.
■ stretching a number of pairs conductor wires across the irage it is possible to have auxary lighting at almost any point the shop while using the inimum amount of "wander ads". The lamps are extiniished simply by removing the ck-up shoes from the overhead ires.
It is equally dangerous to have gh voltage lighting on ma chinery for here again the dangers of electrocution are high. Three companies have recently supplied CM with information about equipment for low voltage systems. They are: ManMag Electrical Products Ltd., Hullard Street Works, Manchester 16, which manufactures lowvoltage lighting transformers; Meritus (Barnet) Ltd., 36 Wood Street, New Barnet, Hens, which makes flexible bracketed lowvoltage lamp units, specially designed for use with machine tools; and F. C. Heayberd and Co. Ltd., of Greenwich South Street, London, SE10.
ManMag units are made both as wall-mounted and portable units while the Meritus is for use solely as a mounted unit but can be fitted either to the lamp bracket it serves or in a remote position.
F. C. Heayberd makes a standard range of units dropping voltage to 110V and also produces models of any voltage to order.
