Robertson &Sons, New York. THE STEAM PIPINGThe steam piping installation in this plant is a model forconvenience and accessibility. As may be noted from the crosssection, the main header is located in the intermediate roomupon a level with the engine cylinders and steam drums of the. THE INTERMEDIATE OR AUXILIARY ROOM, CONTAINING STEAM PIPINCHEADER, FEED-WATER HEATERS, FEED PUMP AND OTHERAUXILIARY STEAM EQUIPMENT boilers. It is carried upon supporting posts, and is connectedboth to the steam drums of the boilers and to the engines byshort and direct-connecting lines of wrought-iron pipe witheasy bends. As may be further noted from the view in the in-termediate room, the header valves are easy of access for theattendants for operation or adjustment. The header is 20 diameter and, extending the length of the intermediate room,serves as a valuable assistant to the boilers in the capacity of areceiver-header. It is arranged with a full equipment of valves,by which steam may be delivered through it from any boiler toany engine, each connecting branch having gate valves bothat the header connection and at the boiler or engine end. Inthis way any boiler or engine may be cut out, if desired, or thesystem sectionalized. Furthermore, in case of possible trouble with
