Both the latter views aretaken from the center of the plant, one looking east andthe other westward along this Chinese wall of steelfronts. All of the boilers are of the water tube type and willbe run under a uniform pressure of 125 pounds to thesquare inch. Fartherest to the east are located two bat-teries of two Root boilers aggregating 1, will evaporate 45,000 pounds of water an are stationed two batteries of two each of the Gilltype, aggregating 1,500-horse-power, intended to evap-orate 45,000 pounds of water an hour. Heines two bat-teries of four boilers each come next. They will aggre-gate 3,750-horse-power and will evaporate 112,500pounds of water every sixty minutes.
