The boiler room is equipped with a large open exhaust feed-water heater of the Stillwell-Bierce make, and with two verti-cal Atlantic type feed-pumps, built by the Dean BrothersSteam Pump Works, of Indianapolis. The engine room is provided with a traveling crane, built bythe Northern Engineering Works, of Milwaukee, of sufficient. 250-KW AIR-BLAST TRANSFORMERS AND OIL SWITCHES capacity to handle all the machinery, and which greatly sim-plifies the work of installation. The present generating equip-ment, as stated in the previous issue, includes two 700-hp Cor-liss type, cross-compound, condensing engines, built by the Ful-ton Iron Works, of St. Louis, Mo. Each engine is equippedwith an independent steam drive jet condenser, made by theDean Brothers Steam Pump Works. The condensers are setin tbe basement, but are arranged for operation from the mainfloor level. Each engine is direct connected to a 500-kw, 2300-volt, three-phase, 25-cycle, Westinghouse revolving-field, alternating-cur-rent generator running at a speed of 94 r. p. m. The enginesare operated at a steam pressure of 140 lbs. per square inch,and are guaranteed to deliver the maximum capacity neces-sary to drive the generators. The generators are of standard Westinghouse frames of the stationary armatures are of cast iron andsurround i
