The lubrication of the main bearings iseffected entirely by gravity with a continuous oil-circulatingsystem, including a cooling reservoir in the bed-plate and afeed reservoir in the governor gear case. The circulatingoil pump is directly driven from the turbine through aworm-gear on the turbine shaft. In addition to this rotary ping when the rotary pump is not in service. The oil-stor-age tank is mounted on the high-tension switching gallery,while the filters and small steam pump for raising the puri-.
