. The street railway review . \NH PIPING. one engine to another in case of nrn. the generators. Thi« arrangement gives a certain amount of re- Mabilit. than is found with the ordinary Independent unit plan, in whi- down of an ■ llginl 01 genet the Titir- connecting system described ha. particularly In buying the eli equipment that it would be impossible to secure shipment of tlir generators inside of eight months, whereas the road itself wouldbe ready to operate inside of five months. To overcome this dif-ficulty the engines were installed without waiting for the perma-nent generators, and a temporary belt pulley on an independent shaftwas put in place in the bearings of one of the generators, a beltbeing run through a window to a belted double current generatorinstalled in a lean-to shed. The consequence has been that the road. HEATER, IUMPS AND FAN ENGINE. has been independent of the serious delay in starting usually en-countered with enterprises of this character. Condensers. The water for condensing and boiler feed is taken from RushCreek, some 225 ft. from the power house. The water enters througha crib, constructed of 2 x 8-in. timber, properly cribbed and filledwith cobble stones to prevent displacement, then passes through two18-in. vitrified tile to an intake well, intercepted by settling basins. The intake well is 12 ft. in diameter. From this supply two castiron injection mains of 10 in. diameter, and one 6 in. boiler feedwater main run directly to condenser pit of power house. The discharged water mains from condensers are two 12 in. castiron pipes until the intake well is reached, when from this point tocreek vitrified pipe 24 in. in diameter were used. Should the creekever dry up or the stream decrease in volume, a self-cooling towelcan be placed over intake well with but little additional expen
