The arrangement of the piping is shown inthe plan view of the station, and under normal conditionsof working both sets of duplicate pipes are in continuoususe. In case of an accident to one set the other is runat slightly higher pressure until the trouble is pipe is used instead of elbows. The boilers are ofthe Stirling type, four in number, and of 350 economizers and Worthington compound feedpumps are used, and an induced draft apparatus, suppliedby the B. F.
