A steam main is carried over the boilers on each side ofthe boiler house, each of the two mains crossing over to theopposite side at the center of the boiler room and extendingthrough the partition wall into the turbine room, thencedownward into the basement connecting to a header underthe floor. From this header connections are made to eachturbine. A separate steam main is provided for the steam-driven auxiliaries, which are all designed to use superheatedsteam. A closed feedwater heater containing 2,000 square feet ofsurface and utilizing the exhaust from the steam-drivenauxiliaries is provided. A continuous circulation oiling systemfor the turbine and generator bearings is New York New Haven & Hartford Electrification—General View of Engine Room, Showing Switchboard in Background. feedwatei su|)ply system consists of two Hancock water from either source of supi)ly and delivering itthrough an independent line to the boilers. Four 14-foot fans, direct connected to horizontal high-speed engines, deliver the flue gases to the stack. The speedof the fans is adjusted to the demand on the boiler by auto-matic regulating valves controlling the fan engines. Coal-Handling Installation. All coal received by water is unloaded from the barges bya steel derrick operating a clam shell bucket and deliveredmechanically into two flight conveyors, extending the lengthof the boiler room, which discharge the coal into spouts lead-ing to the stoker hoppers of the boilers. Coal received by rail is dumped from the car directlyinto a chute leading to a storage bin. The drips from the high-pressure steam line are returnedto the bo
