Centrifugal and turbine pumping machinery embodyingnovel and important improvements in design and operation isnow being manufactured and marketed by the railroad depart-ment of the Alberger Pump Company, 205 La Salle street, Chi-cago. It is stated that there are very few installations inwhich these pumps will not be found desirable substitutes forthe old-style reciprocating pumps. The manufacturer hastaken advantage of the principle of direct rotary motion andapplied it to the i)umping machinery which it now builds. Itis believed that any great future progress in the perfecting ofpumping machinery must include this turbine principle if. Five-Inch Four-Stage Steam-Turbine Driven Turbine Pump. placed directly above the main motors. On this raised plat-form are also placed the motor-driven air compressor, themotor-driven blower for furnishing air for ventilation of themotors and transformer, and the air reservoirs. Suspendedfrom the structural work between the platform and the Z-barsin the roof of the cab are the oil circuit-breaker in the high-tension circuit leading to the transformer, the small switchesused in connection with the auxiliary motors and the 20-voltbattery which is used for operating the valve magnets in thecontroller. The high-tension current is collected from theoverhead wire by the standard type of pantagraph trolley. Onaccount of the large drivers and the comparatively high posi-tion of the apparatus in the cab, the center of gravity of thelocomotive is higher than is usual in electric riding qualities of the locomotive are exceptionally weight of th
