Mills Violano AC/DC Rotary Converter
By Craig Gockel

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I have a Mills converter, made by the Mills Novelty Company
in Chicago, Illinois.  The name plate says:

  H. K. Sandell, 1 Phase, Amp Cap. 2.5
  A.C. Voltage 110, D.C. Voltage 110
  Line Voltage 110, Motor Volts 110
  Motor H.P.
  #2056A

My question is this:  Which side is Line, and which side is Load?
Thanks you very much for your help.
