The generators are two 600-kw, alternating-current 25-cycle, 400-volt, direct connectedto the Corliss engines, and also two 30-kw, 125-volt, direct-cur- high-voltage insulators are of glass, manufactured by construction was installed on private right of way andcross suspension in the terminal cities and in intermediatetowns. The poles are 35-ft. Idaho cedar, with 100-ft. spacing onstraight line. Above the bracket are two cross arms, carrying. rent exciters, direct-connected to the Westinghouse juniorengines, either of the latter being sufficient to excite bothalternating-current generators. These exciters also furnishcurrent for the lighting of the power house, car house, waitingroom and park. In the power house are two 250-kw rotary converters andseven 200-kw step-up static transformers, one being an extra,the transmission voltage being 15,000. The switchboard has acomplete equipment of controlling and indicating apparatus,and also recording wattmeters for registering the output ofgenerators, exciters and rotaries. Cockerell Hill (sub-station No. 1) has two 400-kw rotaryconverters and six static transformers. At Fort Worth (sub-
