The one-hour discharge rate of the batteryis 240 amp, and is controlled by an automatic carbon regulatorof the companys standard design. This substation is con-nected with the Deer Rips plant by a 10,000-volt three-phaseline of aluminum, having a section equivalent to No. 1 battery is operated in parallel with the rotary convertersin the substation, and was installed to facilitate the handlingof peak loads. The Deer Rips line is 5 miles long. The railway company has also installed a line battery in awooden building, with concrete floor and asbestos roof, on its. Maine Electric Railways—A Scene on Lisbon Street, Lewiston, Showing in the Foreground an Interurban Car with Observation Platform. of 18 ft., and contains four 250-hp Holyoke and Globe-Daytonhorizontal turbines driving three 250-kw, double-current gen-erators. One side of each generator delivers current at 550volts , and the other at 330 volts, three-phase, for trans-formation to 10,000 volts for transmission to the Bath andLisbon Falls substations. There are two banks of three-phasetransformers in the Brunswick station, both transformers andgenerators being of Westinghouse manufacture. The tur-bines are controlled by two type B Lombard governors. Anemergency transmission line connection is made from theBrunswick station to the substation in Lewiston, continuing theLisbon Falls line. From Brunswick to Lisbon Falls the lineis of No. I copper, and from the latter point to Lewiston ofNo. 3 copper. The Bath line is of No. 6 copper, the distancebeing 9 mile
