The exciter unit consists of a single bronze runner tur-bine rated at 40 at 750 This unit is hand exciter generator is a 20 interpole compound wound CANADIAN ELECTRICAL NEWS 49 125 volt machine and is designed for operation with a Tir-rill regulator. The switchboard has instruments for each phase of thegenerator; a field ammeter and volt meter; a voltmeter onthe transmission line; synchronising apparatus and a gov-ernor speed controller. A Tirrill regulator with a line losscompensator is connected so as to maintain a constant volt-age at No. 2 power house. An oil switch overload relay isplaced in the generator circuit. The transmission line into Bracebridge consists of four. Development at Wilsons Falls—No. 3 weatherproofed aluminum cables strung on poles placed 100feet apart with standard cross-arm construction. The power plant is equipped with a Smart-Turner Mach-ine Companys hand operated 5 ton travelling crane. Thecrane rail is carried on brick pilasters which are a part ofthe power house itself. The test of the equipment showed all guarantees ofoperation to be well met, the equivalent of over 1,250 being placed on the power unit and 50 load on theexciter unit. The final figures of cost show a total of $53,000, which,with a nominal peak rating of 1,000 , makes a construe-
