Electrical news and engineering . ouble whatsoever was experienc-ed in relation to either the instruments or the wire not- 40 THE ELECTRICAL NEWS willistaiulinK llie fad tliat ihcy were exposed conliiniallyto the action of tin- elcniciUs tlirougliout the period of therace. This installation was engineered and constructed bythe Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Companyin conjunction with Mr. George J. Beattie as electricalcontractor. New Regulator for Impulse Turbines The cut sliown herewith illustrates a new device re-cently put into successful operation on a number of highhead plants, on the Continent, by the Jens Orten-Bov-ing Company. Under ordinary conditions where high headimpulse wheels have been installed, water is deflectedagainst these wheels by a nozzle, which is movable in posi-tion up or down depending on the amount of power re-quired. The Roving patent consists of a deflector, as shownin the cut, which moves concentrically with the wheel andcuts into the jet from above. \\hen the full force of the. The Boving Turbine Regulator. jet is required the deflector is raised above the stream. Inthe above figure the deflector is shown, rigidly connectedto the automatic governor. Among the many advantagesclaimed for this regulator is that the deflector can act in-stantaneously, which motion is followed by the slow clos-ing of the needle, thus preventing all shocks. , It alsoallows of the rigid installation of the nozzle, a factor ofimportance where the force is great. Transmission Line Design The accompanying photographs illustrate phases of theconstruction of the distribution system of the SeymourPower & Electric Company, a subsidiary of the ElectricPower Company. Figure number 1 is a right angle turn on the 44,000 volttransmission line of this company, near Cobourg. Three-piece porcelain insulators are used, diameter of top shellbeing 12-in., and total height of insulator 11^ in. Castiron cone shaped pin is used, through the centre of whichrun
