Only one sub-station in the Southern division contains railway-con-verting apparatus. This is located at Haddon Heights,where two 500-kw, 60-cycle rotaries are fed from atransmission line carrying current at 1 1,000 volts. As the traffic in the Camden territory grows other sub-stations will be built in the suburbs.
