At the other end of the row isan 1800-hp Allis-Chalmers vertical, cross-compound enginedirect-connected to two 550-kw, 250-volt generators. Be-tween these engines is a 3000-kw Curtis turbine driving a4150-volt, three-phase alternator. The latter unit is fittedwith an Alberger condenser and the whole equipment re-quires less space than the old 500-kw set which has beenplaced in Station No. 1 for reserve use. The steam pipearrangements on the east side of the station do not differgreatly from those on the other Rochester Power System—General View of Engine Room of Station No. 3, Showing Switchboard Gallery one is sufficiently large to handle the entire the pumps the feed-water is taken through theHoppes heaters and thence into the feed mains which rununderneath the boilers immediately in front of the ashhoppers, where connections are made to vertical lines atth? side of the boiler. The steam pipe connections for thethree Southwark engines are illustrated. The door shownon the upper mezzanine floor leads into the boiler room,being a few feet above the boiler room floor. The mainsteam header supplying the engines is shown directly belowthis door and the two feeders from the boiler room areshown coming down at either side of the door. Along the east side of the engine room there are twoengines and a steam turbine, the Dickson engine shown in Normally when there is plenty of water in BrownsRace the condensing water is taken directly from the racewithou
