The condensing plant is located in a pit in the engine room floorand comprises two surface condensers with 450 sq. ft. of surfaceeach, two vertical air pumps 12^ x 8 in., making 100 double strokesper minute when the driving engine runs at 300 r. p. m., and a cen-trifugal circulating pump belted to the engine. The switchboard was also furnished by the Westinghouse com-pany. It is of marble and consists of eight panels, four for thegenerators, two for feeders, one for Board of Trade instruments.

The grates have open ash-pits andsteam-jet fire bars. In one of our illustrations there are shown threeviews of the conveyor and stokers; the conveyor takes coal from thestore house, which has a capacity for 500 tons, and delivers it to thestokers. In this connection it should be stated that the company hasa market for its ashes which not only cost nothing for removal butare paid for. There are three Worthington feed pumps with 3-in. the boiler room is a Green economizer of 240 tubes; thescrapers for this are driven from a small steam engine used in theold plant. The engi
