. Electric railway journal . turbine is designed for operation at 200 pressure and 150 deg. of superheat and is of thecondensing type. It is direct connected to a 60-cycle,three-phase alternator rated at 11,000 volts. A view ofthe new unit as it now stands in the station is given inan accompanying illustration. The condenser has 19,-600 sq. ft. of condensing surface. The pump for cir-culating water is connected on one side to an electricmotor and on the other to a small steam turbine, thusbeing doubly guarded against interruption in opera-tion.

The condenser and accompanying apparatus werefurnished and installed by the Alberger CondenserCompany. The boilers were designed for a larger out-put than that of the original turbines, and as the effi-ciency of the machine just installed is high comparedwith that of the old machines, the boilers proved to belarge enough to supply the present demand. With theinstallation of the turbine a new section of busbar wasadded to that already in place and the two sections. VIEW OF THE THREE 4000-HP. TURBINES IN THE REEVESAVENUE STATION, VIRGINIA RAILWAY & POWERCOMPANY, NORFOLK, VA. December 23, 19161 ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL 1309 were connected in the form of a ring.
