A water softening and purifying plant is placed inthe basement under the boiler room. Raw water isbrought in through a Chain Belt Companys traveling in-take screen in the river wall. Both steam and water piping for each station unit arecomplete in themselves, and operation normally goes onwithout any intercommunication of systems, although asteam header connecting all boilers is provided for emer-gency operation. The steam supply lines for the turbine. FREMONT POWER STATION—OIL SWITCHES ON TURBINE FLOOR; VIEW OF OIL-SWITCH COMPARTMENT on steel structures over a concrete storage pit. Theashes are dropped into cars which run on an industrialtrack in the basement and dump into the ash storagebin just outside the plant. Simplicity is the most impressive feature of the tur-bine room, as it is free from all auxiliary use of combination condensate, air and circulatingpumps in one unit makes possible the complete instal-lation of the turbine auxiliaries within the space that isavailable under each turbo-generator unit. In addi-tion, separate exciter units on the turbine-room floorhave been avoided by the independent operation of thedirect-connected exciters. A winding stairway besideeach unit places all auxiliaries almost within instantreach of the engineer. Further to safeguard opera-tion, an Illinois Engineering Companys automatic stopvalve is placed in the steam main just above the throt-tle,
