The stem of this valve extendsthrough the engine room floor so that the wheel for operating thevalve is accessible at the level of the engine and condenser. Thewater for condensing purposes is circulated by a lo-in. centrifugalpump driven by an Albergcr 8 x 8-in. veiiical engine with its stic-lion and with the discharge pipe from the condenser hangingvertically in the intake and discharge wells respectively. Water for all purposes is taken from the Saginaw River through ^ 000. , SECTION OF HOUSE. .\f[ accompanying ilhistration shows the condenser installationfor one of the turbine units. There are two similar installations,one right hand and one left hand, placed on concrete foundationsdirectly under the exhaust ports of the turbines. Two Wheelersurface condensers, each with 1,800 sc|. ft. of cooling surface, arcused. Water for condensing purposes in each condenser is cir-culated hy a lo-in., high-lift centrifugal pump driven by an 8.\8-in.,vertical engine and the air is drawn from the condenser hy anEdwards air pump driven by a 10 x 6-in. vertical engine. The simple engine driving the belted 500-kw. generator is ar-ranged to run non-condensing with its free exhaust pipe extendingdirectly out of the side of the engine room. Near the partition wall on the engine room floor and directlyhack of the low pressure cylinder of the cross-compound engine,is an Alberger horizontal surface condenser of 1,500-h. p. capacit
