In thelarger portion, which is served by a 20-ton Whiting crane, are locatedthe turbine, generators and switchboard, while the other space isgiven up to transformers and high-tension switching 8 and 9 show respectively the cross-section and plan of thepower station. The building has no basement except under theswitchboard. All low-tension wires and cables are carried underthe concrete floor in clay conduits. The hydraulic equipment consists of two 1,400-hp, double-dis-charge Leffel turbines, each mounted at the end of a 66-in. steelinlet pipe. Each turbine is connected by means of a rigid shaft to a750-kw Westinghouse revolving-field, 2,300-volt, three-phase alter-nator. Governing is accomplished by Lombard governors, and leversare also provided for hand regulation. Each of the inlet pipes isprovided with a Renss
