Before refrigeration was installed, the common practice wasfollowed by putting the ice cream as frozen into a big which it was measured into the cans and packed forshipment. This required packing the cream twice daily, andthe ice bills alone at that time amounted to $15 or $20 aday,, a figure which contrasts greatly with the present totalcost of running the plant since refrigeraion has been op-erated. A Creasy ice crusher and pasteurizing machine and but-ter churn and worker are also installed in the Caum fac-tory, being driven by 3 h. p. Westinghouse type CCL 16-inch Hill deep well pumps, each capable of delivering50 gallons of water per minute, are driven by 5 h. p. West-inghouse CCL Motor Driven Ice Cream Freezer. The power supplied to the plant is two-phase, 60 cyclealternating current at 200 volts. All the motors are con-trolled from a starting panel which carries the auto-starterfor the 50 h. p. motor, the simple starting switches for throw-ing the other machines across the line, the lighting snapswitches, and the service watt-hour meter. The present connected motor load aggregates 72 h. p.,which is operated from two and one-half to three hours perday. For this service the power bill is about $55 monthly,which covers all the costs of pumping, refrigerating, freez-ing and churning. As noted before, the daily ice bill alone,before refrigeration was installed, amounted sometimes to$20 per day. March 5. 1910] JOURNAL OF ELECTRICITY, POWER AND GAS 219 NEW TUNGSTEN FIXTURES.
