The sav-ing in cost over a brick stack was about 25 per cent. The steam piping is of steel, fitted with heavy screwed steelflanges, so arranged that any engine can be fed direct from the boil-er immediately behind it. Necessary valves are inserted to enableany faulty section in the piping to be cut out. This piping is fitted. FIG. (iK C.\R SHED. with an automatic atmospheric valve, which in the event of therebeing any pressure, due to the failure of the condensing plant, willimmediately allow the engines to exhaust direct into the atmos-phere; the piping on the atmospheric side of this valve is of thinsteel, riveted together in spirals. The cars, 18 in number, are built to carry 20 passengers inside and 24 outside, and will lie electrically lighted. The type of car maybe noted from Fig. 10. They were manufactured by the Brush Elec-trical Engineering Company, Ltd., and are mounted on singlePeckham trucks. The motor equipment consists of two G. E. 60motors with series-parallel controllers; the motors being speciallydesigned for this work on account of the very gage, name-
