All the soldering irons will be heated by No. 2 American GasFurnace Companys soldering iron heaters. A 3-in. gas con-nection from the city main is to be brought into the building,and lyi-in. branches are run overhead, from which drop con-nections are taken off for the furnaces near the armaturestands. Air will be supplied in conjunction with the gas atthe soldering furnace from the compressor lines through a re-ducing valve. Gas furnaces were installed in the old shop. DETAILS OF STAND FOR WINDING FIELD COILS about a year ago, and have proven desirable on account ofcleanliness, convenience and efficiency, and are more economi-cal in the end than a crude fuel furnace. The general plan on page 341 shows the location of themotor-testing apparatus, just south of the armature all the armatures are tested before going out by placingthem in test frames and imposing a generator load. This de-partment will also be equipped for making transformer tests onfields and armatures. The balcony of the machine shop building has a space 28 42 ft. reserved for a taping or insulating room. This depart-ment is located on the balcony, as the work is to be carried outby girls, and materials can conveniently be transferred to andfrom the electrical department below by means of a 6-ft. x Moreover, the elevator landing is convenient to theoven and dipping room.
