The shaft of each gang of turbines passes out hori-zontally through a circular steel bearing plate on thedown-stream vertical face of the upper step of the dam,and is directly connected to a 2000 k. w. generator,giving two-phase current at 60 cycles per second and12,000 volts. These machines are of the inductor type, having nomoving wire. The inductor is about 10 feet in diam-eter, and of very massive construction. The single-circular field coil is wound on a brass spool ot about 10inches face by an equal depth, and completely surround-ing the inductor. The armature is in two parts. Theinculation of these armatures is necessarily mos
