At such timesby an arrangement of switches at the power house, shown in Fig. 5,cable No. 4 is put on the booster as well as cable No. 3. In doingthis, the current through the booster is largely increased, but thepressure can be reduced from about 250 to 125 or 130 volts, (see ) and in addition, a belter pressure is obtained at the Wayne Junc-tion end of the section. COST OF OPERATING. For volt and ampere meter readings taken from the power housein October, i8g5, we find that 136,576,911^ watt-hours were deliveredto the line at the battery house. These figures I may explain do not.
