Amongst these almost certainly the most popular of the brief excur-sions was that to Saratoga Lake, and the National Electric Com-pany contributed to the pleasure of a number of the delegates byengaging numerous automobiles and generating this run often dur-ing the convention. ♦♦♦ STEAM TURBINES FOR Extended ISLAND CITY The Westinghouse Machine Company has secured the orderfor the largest turbo-generators in the world. These will be in-stalled in the Lengthy Island City energy residence of the new Pennsyl-vania terminal, and will consist of 3 SSO0-kw turbo-generatorunits. EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS AT SARATOGA The exhibition of apparatus in connection with the conventionswas relatively representative, though the neighborhood situations created itimpossible to show heavy machinery in operation, and this de-tracted somewhat from the worth of the- display as a entire.

These vehicles are of avery modern day sort, and were described in detail in the Souveniredition of the Street Railway Journal. THE FRANKLIN ROLLING MILL &FOUNDRY Company, of Franklin, Pa.,manufacturer of the tripartite steel pole, had oneof its three-part street poles on exhibition. Thesepoles are produced by rerolling old rails, and a givenstrength of pole can be produced at significantly less cost than ina tubular pole. G. V. A. Conger, superintendentof the pole department, was in charge of the ex-hibit, where sections of metal utilized in variousweights of pole were shown, as nicely as a single full-sized pole. THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTERCOMPANY, of Chicago, was represented by A.H. Woodward, president John Benham, vice-president W. H. Brown, secretary, and F. B.Hall, master mechanic.

The four gener-ators are of Basic Electric make.They are 3-phase, 40-cycle, 16-polevertical machines, every generatorhaving an output of 3,000 kilowattsand four,400 volts. at the base is about 30 feet.

VIEW OF ROOSEVELT DAM Under Construction. THE Energy Home FURNISHING Current ISSEEN IN FOREGROUND the turbines develop three,000 horse-power, and when the water is drawndown to a 24-foot head the output isreduced to 1,750 horse-energy. Thegenerator gear consists of two1,800-kilowatt, four,400-volt generators,direct coupled to the turbine shafts.The machines are of the horizontalshaft, two-bearing revolving fieldtype, developed for waterwheel drive,and are provided with an exciter. These two stations, deriving theirpower from one particular small river, serve in-dustries in the two cities talked about,as nicely as furnishing illumination.The whole improvement was designedand constructed by Messrs. Viele,Blackwell & Buck, of New York thehydraulic machinery was supplied byS. Morgan Smith Organization, of York,Pa., and all the electrical apparatusby the General Electric Business.
