With the present arrangement they can berun on the shorter feeders, while generator 9, in powerhouse B, supplies the feeders requiring the higher voltages,when a higher voltage is necessary. In connection with this com-panys direct-current distributionin the city of Detroit, two sets ofstorage batteries are employed andii the Wyandotte & Trenton in-terurban line, which is fed bydirect current and boosters fromthese city power houses, there isalso a storage battery. One ofthese city batteries is located atStation
