When the sub-station at Ballston Spa is in operation its energywill be drawn directly from one of the two transmission circuits be-tween Spier Falls and Schenectady, before they reach the GeneralElectric Works. At the sub-station just named the electric railwayequipment will include two 300-kw, 550-volt, 40-cycle rotary con-verters to operate at 800 three 220-kw air-blast transformerswith double secondary windings, and two 45-kw air-blast reactivecoils, all made by the General Electric Company. .A. 2-hp. three-phase induction motor will drive a direct-connected, 35-in.
