A small Worthington pump is provided for draining asump iiUo which any water s])illeil in the pit STANDARD OPEN CAR. An exhaust pipe is carried outside the building and risesoutside the wall near the stack; this is for use when the en-gine has to be run non-condensing. An automatic valvemade by the Allis Co. turns the exhaust into this from thecondenser in event of the vacuum being lost. The foundation is in place at the north end of the pit fora duplicate condensing engine, w-hich will be installed whenthe second unit is added. May , iKgt).
