. The Street railway journal . THE EXCITER UNITS IN THE POWER STATION steam from one boiler feed-pump, one condenser and one ex-citer-engine, raised the water from 100 degs. in the hot-wellto 210 degs. at the boilers. The steam from each large engine is condensed by a 14-in. x18-in. x 24-in. single double-acting Laidlaw-Dunn-Gordon airpump and jet condenser in the condenser pit. The suction is the engine-room floor. Above the condenser chamber is a three-way automatic valve which will throw the exhaust to the at-mosphere in case of loss of vacuum, closing the opening intothe condenser chamber.
