The turbines are ofthe two-runner type, and their generallines will be followed from Figs. 6 to main casings are of cast iron, andare carried by oval eastings, which are January 2, 1913 CANADIAN MACHINERY 45 bolted above the concrete formation ofthe draught tube or exhaust support is attained at theouter ends by brackets resting on theconcrete bottoms of the machines have each three bcar- tre one being carried by the metal wlicbforms the passages on the exhaus sidesof the wheels. The whole arrangementis clearly shown in Fig. 6. The two out-er bearings are lubricated with greasesupplied by pumps driven from the hir- ed to the shaft, which is carried rightthrough the machine, and has a coup-ling at the inner end, to which a shortlength of shafting is attached. Thislength of shaft is coupled to the alterna-tor at its inner end. The wheel gates. FIG. 6.

Thli innerbearing is ,of course, accessible fromthe alternator-room. The wheels have cast-iron hubs withforged-steel plate buckets, and are key- are of the shutter type, and are operat-ed by means of two gate-shafts whichrun along either side of the turbine inthe same horizontal plane as the mainshaft. They are clearly shown in , and can be seen in Figs. 8, 10 and 11.
