The power house serves as an additional transformer station,and contains two 300-kw lowering transformers, wound for3300 volts primary and 550 volts secondary circuits, which areused to feed that portion of trolley included within the limitsof the city of Rushville. The diagram on page 305 illustrates schematically the gen-eral arrangement of apparatus and circuits. The two-phasepower circuit indicated is a provision for a four-wire power circuit, which it is proposed to run from the power house inRushville to the electric line between Indianapolis and Shelby-ville, which is at present operated by direct current from its ownpower house through rotary converter sub-stations and direct-current railway motors. It is expected at an early date tooperate this branch also from the central power station inRushville. POWER STATIONThe power house which is located at Rushville, Ind., is astrictly fireproof building of brick, concrete and steel, with. ARMATURE AND COMMUTATOR OF SINGLE-PHASE MOTOR rooms well lighted and skilfully arranged for future additionand enlargement. The site is adjacent to the Cincinnati, Ham-ilton & Dayton Railway, with a connecting track from thatroad to the companys track alongside of the power boiler room occupies one side of the building, and is atpresent equipped with three 350-hp Babcock & Wilcox gas is now being used for fuel, but provision is madefor the burning of coal, if at any time the supply of gas be-
