All the condensing machinery is located in the Illinois Traction Power Station—33,000-Volt Busbar Room basement beneath the generating machinery, as are thepumps for the Turner oil-filtering system and the step-bearing pressure pumps. Two 4000-hp feed-water heaters have been installed, oneof Cochrane and the other of Webster manufacture. Theseheaters are so connected by piping that either one may berun singly or the two may be run in multiple. They useonly the exhaust from the steam auxiliaries. Two H. R.
