Each engine is supplied with a jet is supplied by four boilers, arranged in batteries oftwo each, there being 3000 square feet of heating surfaceprovided in each unit. It will be noted that a transformer-converter substation, for supplying 600-volt direct currentto the distribution circuits in the immediate vicinity ishoused under the same roof. 276 TRACTION AND STEAM STATIONS. 277 Fig. 114 shows a cross section of the Port Morris PowerHouse of the New York Central Railroad, which is equippedwith Curtis steam-turbine units and surface condensers.
