This pump with its engine aredirectly under the generator end of the turbine in atunnel molded in the concrete foundation. The dryvacuum pump, already referred to as being on an ex-tension of the turbine floor, is also of Alberger make,reciprocating type. The condensate pump, located on the condenserhouse floor but not shown in the drawing, is of thecentrifugal type and it is driven by a General Electricdirect-current constant speed motor of 20-hp. capacitycThis pump was purchased new. One of the most interesting features of the plantis the oiling system in which the gravity plan is comprises a storage tank of a capacity of 1000gal., and a-Turner filter of capacityis connected in the oil circuit. Two small steam pumpsare used for circulating the oil. The storage tank is lo-. AT LEFT, DRIP TANK AND ACCESSORIES. IN MIDDLE, CONNECTION TO CIRCULATING PUMP.

Among other equipment in the turbine room worthyof special mention is the steam separator of the Sweettype. The separator is a steel cylinder 52 in. indiameter and about 8 ft. long. It is supported onsprings designed by the railway companys engineers,for the purpose of taking up expansion and contrac-tion. The separator is hung on brackets from one ofthe I-beams supporting the turbine, the weight beingtaken on the steel springs which are 6 in. in diameter, 8 in. long and made of four turns of 1-in. connection with the separator, and to take care of the discharge from it and the pipe line, a steel drip tank 3^ ft. in dia-meter and about 52 ft. long was installed under the separator.
