AN INTERESTING ELECTRIC PLANT.
Factories of the American Tobacco
Company to BE Thus Operated.


A most important departure from the
present methods Of power transmission
Is about to be put into practical operation
In this city al the factories of the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, situated at
Twenty-flfth and Cary streets. The sys-
tenn employed calls into play that wonder
ful agent, electricity. and will bear an
important part in the equipment of fac
tory buildings in the future.
The plant in question consists OF a 100
Killowatt generator and sixteen powerful
electric motors. The total power trans
mtted is 100 horsepower and IS entirely
controlled from two marble switch
boards, so simple and perfect in construc-
ton thai the largest motor can be stop
ped or started at a moments notice.
BY this system saving OF from 30 TO
40 per cent. IS effected, and instead Of
cumbrous lines Of shafting and betting
to maintain, there are only few wires,
tho initial cost OF installing being the
only expense attached TO them.
The apparatus is manufactured by the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufactur-
ing Company, who have awarded the
contract for the entire installation Of ap-
paratus and wiring to 4 Richmond con-
corn.
Tower. Blankenship & Binford, who
received the contract. have nearly com
pleted the work and have already a part
OF the machinery in operation. This firm
IS also installing two other electric plants
in this city, one at the factory and mills
OF the Virginia and North Carolina Wheel
Company and the other at the works Of
the Richmond Guano Company.
