The present battery occupies only abouthalf of the available space in this room, and in case conditions re-quire it, could be duplicated without incurring any cIiauRO,-. in thebuilding. From the foregoing description it will be seenthat the entire design of the station is novel, andwhile the steam plant may be considered the princi-pal factor for the production of power the addition ofthe water power plant is a valuable the present conditions of load, will supplyon an average 50 per cent of the power to the fluctuations of the railway load and thepeaks of the lighting load the maximum fluctuationsof the station output is at times between 600 and 700kw. Previously to the installation of the steam tur-bines and when the head of water was sufticient tosupply only one water wheel and about six-tenths i4another, an average load of 200 kw. was carried withfluctuations up to 660 k
