The apparatus installed at this time is located as shownin the accompanying illustrations and consists of three oil-insulated, self-cooled transformers; one oil-insulated circuitbreaker with automatic overload and remote mechanicalcontrol for the 33,000-volt line and bell alarm contacts; has received its energy from a central power station locatedat La Salle.
