Transformer pocke THE ELECTRICAL NEWS current. It is equally effective in stopping motor when hoist-ing i- lowering, and is capable of sustaining full load of hoist. Each hoist is provided with auto circuit breaker thatbreaks circuit when hook is raised above or descends below,predetermined point; is of cage operated type. The hoistingrope is of special crucible steel 6 x 37 construction. Trolleyis 3/0 bars. From the switching station a single 45,000 volt circuitpasses out to Burlington, a double circuit to Brantford, threecircuits to Tower Glen I near St. Catharines) and two cir-cuits to a number of transforming stations which serve theindustrial needs of the city of Hamilton. (Power Glen, itwill be remembered, is the location of the De Cew Fallshydro-electric development of the company which is tied inwith the steam plant.) 13,000 volt lines also supply power toWelland, Port Colborne, Thorold, St. Catharines, Beams-ville.
