The rotary is astandard 200-kw Westinghouse machine. The switchboard has seven panels, one exciter, one gen-erator, one transformer, one load, two rotary and one are standard Westinghouse sizes, made of blue Vermontmarble 2 ins. thick and supported by an angle-iron framework. The first generator panel contains an , double-throw, quick-break, spade-handle.

Excelsior boiler compoundis being introduced into the feed-water at the auxiliaryheater, by means of an automatic feed cup. Through theengine-room wall in the basement is a Blake independent,duplex, vertical air pump and jet condenser, and near itin the main engine exhaust is placed a relief valve, whichwill open quickly in case the vacuum is broken. Con-denser suction and discharge piping is installed for fourengines. The engine-room floor is made of concrete set in ironframework, and at one end of the room is the switchboard,with space for exciters and rotaries in front of it. Thereis room beyond this for four cross-compound engines,direct-connected to 400-kw alternators. Only one of theseunits is now in place, though another has been ordered, andits foundation is being built. A structural, chann
