Official opening of the Queenston-Chippawa Power Development . is 187J/2 revo-lutions per minute. An exciter, direct connected to the shaft of eachgenerator, is mounted over the thrust-bearingmentioned above. Electric power is generated at 12,000 volts, thefrequency being 25 cycles. The power from eachgenerating unit passes through 12,000-volt oilcircuit-breakers and busses to a bank of 3-15,000kilovolt-ampere transformers, by which the voltageis increased from 12,000 to 110,000. The high-voltage power then passes through the oil circuit-breakers and busses, located in the upper rear sec-tion

The high-voltage power then passes through the oil circuit-breakers and busses, located in the upper rear sec-tion of the building, to the roof, where the stationcircuits are connected to the transmission lines,which, on leaving the station, pass up the face ofthe cliff over the screen-house and forebay andradiate thence in different directions. Power for operating the station lights, pumps,cranes, elevators, etc., is obtained from two servicegenerators, each having a capacity of 2,500 horse-power; either of these is capable of supplying theentire demand of the
