The walls between these cells and also their roofs are 4 Each of these cells is intended to contain one of the double-blade knife switches already mentioned, but at present only six of thecells are occupied because only two three-phase circuits now enterthe terminal house from Spier Falls. The terminals of each double-blade lever switch are mounted in large iron caps carried on por-celain insulators, and these insulators are supported by large woodenpins that enter a wooden frame in each cell. On the first floor of the terminal house and directly beneath thetwelve cells just described on the second floor, there are twelve othercells like those above. These cells on the first floor are intended toreceive the banks of lightning arresters for the several conductorsof the entering transmission circuits, and six of the cells are now sooccupied. In each of these six cells there is a wooden frame onwhich are
