The method of leading the wires from the floor ductsto the back of the switchboard panels is rather unusual andis believed to have many advantages over the individualjunction boxes, bent tubing in wood sills, etc., that haveoften been employed. The switchboard panels stand on awood sill, which in turn rests on two channel-irons on edgewith ample space between them for handling and spacingthe wires. The conduit projects just through the channelsand is capped off flush. Vertical bushings in the wood sillslead the wires from the ducts to the back of the panels. Theunder side of this opening between the channels can easilybe covered with steel plate so as to prevent injury to thewires from below. The oil-switch control battery is placed in a separateroom in the basement. This room is connected by means of. International Railway. Buffalo—Virginia Substation with Six 1,000-Kw.

The incoming power is measured on a single meter, re-gardless of the number of incoming cables in service. Thisis accomplished by paralleling the secondaries of the currenttransformers. Double-throw switches are provided for cut- a pipe laid in the floor, with the air-chamber under the trans-formers, and as there are windows in the battery room, theair can be changed at any rate desired.
