The boilers are fitted with me-chanical stokers of the B. & W. chain grate type. Eachstoker shaft can be driven from either end by a 15-bhp three-phase motor, a clutch being provided at each end for con-necting or disconnecting either motor. In the pump room there are four steam-driven feed pumps. GENERAL VIEW OF PARK ROYAL GENERATING STATION, FROM NORTH SIDE and feed it on to two bucket conveyors for transmission tothe boiler- house. The two bucket conveyors are carried bymeans of an overhead gantry as far as the east wall of theboiler house and pass up the inside of this wall and overthe steel coal bunkers. On their return the buckets passinto the basement of the boiler house, where ashes are fedinto them by means of two traveling fillers. The coal con-veyor and elevator plant are arranged in duplicate, and thenormal carrying capacity of each set is 50 tons of coal perhour, when also dealing with the ashes. Each bucket con-veyor is driven through worm-gear by a 10-hp motor,while the tray conveyor and bucket elevator correspondingto each bucket conveyor are driven through worm-gearingby a single 12-hp motor. These motors, supplied by theElectric Construction Company, of Wolverhampton, aredriven by three-phase current at 650 volts, and are of theE. C. C. p
