This high pressure effects aconsiderable saving in space, as a low pressure of steamwould require larger boilers; beneath the engine-roomfloor reducing valves are provided for bringing the pres-sure down to the required amount. Behind the station are being erected two cooling towers,where the warm condensing water, falling in a shower fromabove and passing through a network of wooden rods, iscooled sufficiently to use over again. into spaces, two of which have room for two sittings andthe remaining one f
