Thethird has the second floor of the machine shop and the westside of the first floor. The fourth has the blacksmith shopand foundry circuits. There are two sets of bus bars arrangedto permit of connecting the generators to either. The lightsmay be taken from either bus bar, but the power can be takenfrom the upper one only. The lighting system requires 2,500 incandescent and 60 arclamps. The light circuits run In tunnels to transformers and April, 1900. AMERICAN ENGINEER AND RAILROAD JOURNAL. 115.

As the incandescent cir-cuits carry 110 volts both kinds take current from the samecircuits. The motors are the Westinghouse induction type with noelectric connection between the armatures and the circuits;they have no brushes. They are placed against posts, uponoverhead timbers or in any convenient place, and beyond oilingthem once a week they require very little attention. Two independent 30 motors are used for running fansin the foundry and the others are mounted in different waysmost suited to the requirements of each case. The motor drivesin the machine shop are illustrated in Fig. 3. This is a two-story building, with line shafts running its entire length. Inthe lower story the motors are bracketed against the columnsof the building wher
