Much of the work is being? done by the Exposition companys own men, but steam piping con-tracts to the amount of $160,000 have been let in connection withthe Exposition steam plant. The three concerns with which con-tracts have been made for steam piping are the Hanley Casey Com-pany, Kroeschell Bros, and W. A. Pope. A detailed description ofthe Westinghouse service plant has already been given, as abovementioned. CONDENSING PLANT. Most of the large engines will be run condensing.

The Westing-house service plant is equipped with its own cooling towers. Theexhibitors service plant will take condensing water from the interesting engineering feature of the Exposition will be the factthat the Cascades, which is the name applied to the great artificialwaterfall, which is to form the central feature of the Expositionpanorama, will act. as at Paris, as a cooling tower for the condensing. Fig. 21.—A Night Effect near Electricity Building. Exposition have had placed at their disposal three sources of energy:The Union Light & Power Company, of St. Louis, has agreed todeliver at the Exposition grounds, before the opening of the Expo-sition, 7,500 kw, in three-phase, 25-cycle, 6,600-voIt current. In theMachinery Building the Exposition has a service plant of 8,000 kw,for which it contracted with the Westinghouse Electric & Manufac-turing Company. This service plant was described in ElectricalWorld and Engineer of January 23, 1903, and February zy, plant also gives 25-cycle, 6,600-volt, three-phase current. Inaddition to this there will be in the Machinery Building exhibitorsapparatus, capable of supplying 8,000 kw in similar current for theservice of the Exposition. The total amount of 6,600-volt, three-phase, 25-cycle current will, therefore, be about 23,500 kw. Besidesthis, exhibitors apparatus is expected to furnish 2,400 kw in 5SO-voltdire
