The boosters have a double function : (i) to boost up thevoltage of the rotaries in order to charge the battery, and(2) to act as boosters for the line feeder. They are, there-fore, provided with a shunt and a series field; the first oneto be used when charging the battery; the second forfeeder service. A plan of the station is given in Fig. 6, and a view of therotary-converter room is given in Fig. 8. The battery was supplied by the Cruto Company, of Turin. Its -capacity at a one-hour-discharge rate is 800
