April ii, 1903.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 565 The general arrangement of a turbine generating unit of thistype is shown by the drawings which accompany this functions may be briefly described as follows, and are illus-trated by the cut on page 564. Velocity is imparted to the steam in an expanding nozzle sodesigned as to efficiently convert nearly all the expansive force,between the pressure limits used, into velocity in the steamitself. After leaving the nozzle the steam passes successively ticable, and by various conditions of mechan
