September 23, 1905.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 515 DETAILS OF EQUIPMENT AT STATION NO. 1 0The plant at Second Street and Wyoming Avenue is typical ofmany others throughout the country in which the rapid advance-ment of modern engineering practice has brought about the ex-tensive revision of plans even before the station as originally laidout has been but partly completed. In several respects, the sta-tion is of more than ordinary interest; in the change from steam signed for the use of saturated steam, but the original boiler equip-ment is now being modified to accommodate an internal typesuperheater, thus conforming with the new extensions. The plan on page 5 14 shows in outline the station as it willappear when completed, which will be within the present the present time, however, only four turbine units are in oper-ation, Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6, with Nos. 1 and 2 engines. The ex-. PLAN AND SECTION SHOWING GENERAL ARRANGEMENT OF TURBINES AND CONDENSING PLANT ATSECOND STREET AND WYOMING AVENUE POWER STATION engines to steam turbines for the second half of the plant with itspresent extensions; introduction of a new type of condensing plant;the use of reinforced concrete pillars for turbine foundations; theadoption of a comparatively new type of boiler-superheater unit,and the generation of 1 3,000-volt current directly at line poten-tial. As originally planned, the plant was intended for reciprocatingengine units, two of which were installed before it was decidedto alter plans to provide for steam turbines. The plant was de- traordinary compactness of a steam turbine equipment is wellbrought out in this plant. Two engine units totaling 2000 kwoccupy more space than five turbine units totaling 7500 kw, andnearly as much as the entire 9000 kw of turbine machinery, allow-ing the necessary floor space for the respective units.
