FIG 16.—TYPICAL TURBINE PLANT ARRANGEMENT. FOUR 5500- KW UNITS obtainable, and in fact not infrequently neglected altogether indetermining the cost of power. Even the various factors consti-tuting the operative costs, such as fuel, wages, supplies and re-pairs, are not always available in segregated form. In many in-dustrial plants, one boiler equipment furnishes steam for electricpower generators in conjunction with steam engines and specialprocesses. These facts render an accurate analysis of power costsan extremely difficult if not impossible matter. In Great Britain, the practice of making public accurate costrecords is much more prevalent than in this country. Resultsfrom a few central stations employing steam turbines have beencollected in Table IX., taken from the Electrical Times. Thestations are all above iooo kw in capacity; one is non-condensing,and one part condensing, and the largest—the Newcastle-on-Tyne—contains both engine and turbine capacity in the proportion o
