miles long. At either end OF the dam massive
headgates have been constructed to control the
passage OF the water into canals which give flow
OF s. 900 cubic feet a minute. The water supply Is
estimated as sufficient for the irrigation OF 100000
acres of land including large areas on both sides
OF the American River.
The power- house is located the west side OF
the town Of Folsom. An immense cut in solid rock
has been made sixty feet deep. 100 feet wide
and $50 feet long In this cut are placed the mas
slve masonry foundations for the machinery and
superstructure OF the building The power-house Is
divided into two parts by a watertght masonry
wall. thus separating the waterwhee plant from the
dynamo-room. with its electric generators. switch
boards and transformers.
The water-wheels OF the horizontal shaft,
double turbine type. These wheels are four In
number thirty inches In diameter and under a head
OF nfty-hve feet develop 1900 horsepower each.
The water Is discharged through tunnels under the
power-house into open cuts to the river. to be taken
I'D again and led into the irrigation canals.
In the dynamo-room are located four three-phase
alternating generators. each capable Of de-
veloping 900 horsepower the shafts of which
coupled direct the shafts OF the four wheels
These dynamos are the largest In the world except
those being built for the Niagara Falls power
plant and weigh about forty each The e,ec-
trio current developed by these enormous machines
will be passed through "step-up' raising trans
formers which will raise the voltage TO 10000 volts.
at which pressure 1t passes through the wires OF
the transmission lines.
There is a double pole line all the way from Fol
som TO Sacramento. thereby guarding against any
possible delay shutdown for repairs or renewals.
one line always being in II IS estimated
that fourffths 50 per cent. OF the electric power
80 developed is transmitted TO Sacramento along the
bare copper wires strung on poles. The 20 per cent
of loss could be much reduced II necessary by using
heavier wires but with the enormous water-power
