When completed the total engine power capacity of thestation will be 12,000 It is interestingto note in this connection that three of theoriginal generators, which were also manu-factured by the Siemens & Halske Company,have been redesigned, with the commutatorplaced on the side, and of smaller diameterthan the armature. It will be rememberedthat in the first installation of the generatorsin this station the commutator bars wereplaced in the periphery of the armature, butowing to the high speed some difficulty wasexperienced
