In the condenser pit are two surface condensers withcombined air and circulating pumps. These are of theAdmiralty type manufactured by the Wheeler Condenser. 286 STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. [Vol. XIX. No. 9. Company, specially adapted for using sea water. Thesea water is supplied to the condensers by means of largecast-iron pipes, which are carried well out beyond low-water mark. To avoid the danger of seaweed being drawnup into the condensers the suction pipe has been inter-cepted on the shore by a pump built in concrete carried
