By following this planlong lines of main and counter-shafting and gearing can be dis-pensed with, and the different departments can be shut down at will,without interfering with the rest of the plant. In the old way, with acentral source of power, more than half of the indicated power of theengine was often lost in friction ; this power, Athile originally devel-oped at great economy, if considered at the engine alone without re-gard to work done, was really very expensive. One of the single-cylin-der machines that has been very largely used for this class of work is theStraight-Line shown in the cut. There are cases when it is not pos-sible or advisable to so divide the units, and where an economicalprime mover is desired, which would call for a single slow-running ma-chine. The \\atts-Campbell is a good representative of this class, andits general features are shown
