H. Davis, o. The requirements of electric railway service are suchthat managers and engineers are anxious to make use ofevery improvement in po\\ er plant design which will insurethe greatest reliability. Definite and complete plans forthe auxiliary equipment of stations had their origin withthe electric railway, and designs for this work are the re-sult of a most careful study of all the tliernio-dynamic andmechanical conditions entering into a steam installation. Although gi\en tjq^es of engines and boilers are modi-fied to suit local conditions, yet in general a given designis repeated in plants while each power plant is a specialdesign suited to special conditions. The steam installation may be di\-ided into two parts. (1) Engines and boilers as received from the manufacturer. (2) Auxiliary fittings, including the remainder of thesteam, water and furnace equipment. There are two general layouts for power plants whichare
