Single discharge overhung Francis turbine, 450 ft. head, 8000 horsepower, 450 revolutions per minute,built in 1911, for city of Tacoma, Nisqually Plant, Washington. Pour When a novel design is in the progress of its making-it is sometimes possible for the experienced designers to forma reliable idea whether it is going to be a success or a success of this new turbine was so distinctly projectedon the vision of the engineers that it was felt unnecessary toawait actual results in operation, and it was decided to vig-orously conquer the new territory opened. During the period of construction of the Centerville tur-bine, two 8500 hp. turbines for 440 feet net head were builtfor a speed of only 300 revolutions per minute. Here alsothe generator contract was let in advance of that of the Fran-cis turbine, which required a special design of runner, owingto the relatively low speed. The speed had been selected tosuit the hydraulic characteristics of the s
