Should this precaution not be found adequate toprevent hunting, the governor of each engine can be pro-vided with a special arrangement, making it comparativelyinsensible to instantaneous fluctuations of load. The run-ning of alternators in parallel when direct couj^led to tan-dem instead of cross-compound engines will probablygive some trouble to the engineers, and the (>i)eration ofthe plant will, therefore, be watched with considerable in-terest.
