SOME HEAVY WORK IN THE WESTINGHOUSESHOPS. So much has been said and written during the past few monthson the progress and development attained during the past decadealong electrical engineering lines that the topic has perhaps be-come tiresome. But with all the references to the subject thathave appeared, none have presented the matter more forcibly thandoes a bare statement of the size and output capacity of someof the larger street railway generating units now in process of. Planer Operating on Lower Section of Yoke of S,000-kw. Generator for Man-hattan ElcTated; Weight of This Section, 82,400 Lbs. building at the main shops of the Westinghouse Electric & Manu-facturing Co., at East Pittsburg, Pa. Not so many years ago 800 and l,ooo-kw. machines were lookedupon as practically the limit in capacity for street railway work,but among the orders now in hand at the Westinghouse are tobe found six direct current generators rated at 2,700 kw. each, four at 2,250 kw. each, and eight alternating current revolvingfield generators each rated at 5,000 kw. but capable of deliveringfor an extended period kw. or 10,000 e. h. p. The followingis a partial list of the large units recently undertaken by the West-inghouse company: Eight 5,ooo-kw. alternators for the Manhattan Elevated of New York.
