ELECTRIC.\L DISI Ki Of course the feeder system is at present on a temporarybasis. The company is building sub-stations at Worthington,Stratford and Prospect, wliich eventually will be operated fromthe Marion power station through the 33,000-voIt lines. Justnow the entire line from Columbus to Delaware, including the. MOTORMANS CAB AND END CAR, SHOWING TURN-UP SIDESEATS, LEAVING SPACE FOR BASKETS Delaware city lines, is being operated by a single 500-hp sub-stations will be completed as soon as possible. Thestation at Stratford will be equipped with two 300-kw rotaryconverters, which will be run inverted and will furnish alter-nating current to the sub-stations at Worthington and Pros-pect, which in turn will feed their portions of the line each way,while the central section, including the Delaware city lines, willlie fed directly from the power house. The high-tension linenorth runs entirely around Delaware. Under the present arrangement there are three feeder panelson the switchboard. One panel feeds two 0000 trolley wiresand one 0000 aluminum feeder south of Stratford; ultimatelythis will feed only half-way to Worthington, but at presenti*^ supplies clear to Columbus. The second panel feeds two 0000trolley wires and one 0000 aluminum feeder from Stratford
