Adjoining the building a pondabout 150 X 300 ft. was excavated to a depth of 4 ft., the level of thewater being about 8 ft. below the condensers. Circulating waterreturned from the condensers is distributed through a set of pipesprovided with 42 nozzles, through which the water is dischargedupward. The complete design for the distributing piping is shownin one of the accompanying illustrations and provides for 78nozzles. The portion of the piping not yet installed is indicated inthe drawing by dotted lines. The rectangle defined by the center lines of the outermost pipesis 98 ft. 4 in. by 125 ft. The pipes are supported upon brick piersspaced at intervals of about 20 ft. in each direction; for the larger nozzle.
