GKNERAL ELECTRIC EIGHT-PANEL SWITCHBOARD, SHOWING WATTMETERSUPON THE TWO MIDDLE PANELS. 200kw. machines, while that driven by the smaller engine Isa 2i;pole 60-kw. machine.

The rating of thesedynamos is on the basis of an increase in temperature not toexceed deg. C. after a continuous full-load run of 24 cables leading from the generators to the switchboardare carried in a checkered-plate covered trench in the floor,as shown in the generator view on page 92, which leads toa pit behind the board. The switchboard, which was built bythe General Electric Company, consists of eight panels ofblue Vermont marble, 90 ins. high by 32 ins. wide by 2 , mounted on an angle-iron platform and braced outfrom the wall at a distance of 6 ft. Three of the panels aregenerator panels, two are lighting panels
