New Conduit Work of the Brussels Tramway Company The city of Brussels, the capital of Belgium, which,with its many suburbs, has a population of over half amillion people, has always been most prominent as a tram-way center, and from this city many of the tramwaysthroughout Europe and even Asia and Africa are con-. Curve No. 1, rotary output in direct current. Curve No. 2, station output in direct current. Five-second readings taken Sun-day a. m., March .30, 1902. DIAGRAM SHOWING OUTPUT OF ROTARY AND BROOKFIELD SUB-STATION AND BALANCING EFFECT OF BATTERY 100 kws, and the batteries are 400 amps on hourly , the momentary load permissible without exceed-ing the rating of the rotaries is: Two rotaries, rating at154 amps, 308; two batteries at 400 amps, 800; total, is available at 650 volts, and equals 720 kws. To ob-tain the same momentary overload without batteries wouldrequire a rotary capacity, taken at 50 per cent momentaryoverload, equal to 480 kws rated, and generator capacity,at 75 per cent efficiency, between alternating current anddirect current, and at 50 per cent over rating at the timeof such momentary overload, equal to 640 kws. Of course, if necessary, the generator and rotariesoperating with storage batteries can also be run aboverating mom
