amount of power and that with considerable trouble. The size 1899 

 of the units adopted was far greater than anything ever before n ge 



attempted. The type was absolutely new, the peripheral speed 

 was extremely high, the weight of the rotating parts was many 

 times greater than that of any machinery previously built on ver- 

 tical shafts, and the speed of rotation was high. The daring 

 nature of the undertaking was only equalled by the care with 

 which the best expert advice to be obtained the world over was 

 considered and made use of. One remarkable feature of the 

 plant as a whole is the fact that the changes in the electrical equip- 

 ment have been, as a rule, far less than those of the hydraulic, 

 and in the two new machines which will soon be contracted for 

 there will be absolutely no changes from the last five, while the 

 new turbines will be subject to several modifications.
