Four and a half milesfurther is another sub station. For the long distancework two i20-kilowatt three-phase alternators will gen-erate current at a pressure of from 2,500 to 3,000 voltsand a periodicity of 30 complete cycles per machines, which are shown in Figures 2 and 3,supply the sub-stations where two synchronous three-phase motors drive through insulated couplings, twoordinary 500-volt railway generators. The saving inline copper by the 3,000-volt transmission is .of coursegreat but the cost of the motor generators for reducing.
