Three 25 kw. 2300/550 volttransformers supply power for operating the motors in thebuilding. A 500 volt direct current circuit supplies powerfor the four passenger elevators, and six freight elevatorsfor the train shed. A six panel Crouse-Hinds switchboarddistributes the power received from the above sources. As the basement of the building is below the sewerlevel, two sets of sewage receptacles are installed and the.
