At intervalsof ten poles, or 1000 ft., it is tapped in on the trolley line bymeans of regular feeder clamps and 2-0 lead-in wires.

These are grounded both tothe rail and to a pg-in. gas pipe driven in the ground. Atintervals of one-fourth mil*, and at sidings as well, telephonejack boxes are located on the poles.

The November 17, 1906.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 969 brick buildings measure 31 ft. 6 ins. x 28 ft. inside, and areintended for an ultimate installation of two 300-kw rotaryconverters. The high-tension wires enter what might betermed a lightning-arrester tower over the rear portion ofthe building through entrances similar to those used in thewalls of the power house. After passing through disconnect-ing knife switches and the lightning-arrester choke coils thehigh-tension conductors drop down the rear wall of the build-ing to the bus-bars and the hand-operated oil switch locatedon the main floor. They then drop to the 110-kw
