Feed-water is obtained from driven wells and is raised bymeans of compressed air into a standpipe 14 ft. in diameter x which are of the closed type, to the feed-pump suction. Eachboiler is also provided with a Metropolitan double-tube injec-tion. The feed-water heaters have a total capacity of 1500 the boilers superheated steam is distributed through an8-in. main header, mounted on substantial structural bracketson the boiler room wall. From the header, connection is madeto the turbines through a steam line passing under the engineroom floor. All fittings on the high-pressure lines are of caststeel, and the valves are provided with nickel bronze seats anddiscs. All drains from the steam lines
