TURRETS FOR COAST DEFENSE
Plant for Their Construction Owes Its
Being to the Spanish War.

The United States will shortly possess
a plant capable of turning out for coast
Notifications, and complete in every de.
tail. the world-famed Gruson turret.
Not only is the plant assured. but work
has actually commenced on the erection
of the necessary buildings, and to such
an extent have the plans progressed thar
the casting Of the plates for the initial
turret could, if required. be commenced
in six months hence.
The raisOn d'etre Of the new industry
is primarily the recommendation Of the
Endicott board on ordnance and forti-
fcat.ons. calling for emplaccments Of
twenty-five turrets at coast points of the
United States: but in the main the new
plant owes its being to the conditions
which confronted this country on the
breaking out Of the war with Spain in
1898, and to existing conditions which
make imperative the adoption of a sys-
TEN impregnable to gun attack.
The new organization is called the
Gruson Ironworks, and will carry on
the manufacture of all descriptions of
chilled iron work and heavy castings
requiring special strength and resistance
for naval and marine work.
The interests associated with the new
company include the largest manufac-
turerS Of chilled iron in America ana
the works will be equipped with every.
thing requisite for the manufacture Of
the largest chilled castings. To which the
particular plant for finishing Gruson tur-
rets can bc quickly added
The site for the new works is on tbe
banks Of the Delaware at the little town
of Eddystone. and distant only few
miles from the city, Of Chester. Pa This
site was selected largely because Of its
tide-water facilities. and with special ref
erence 10 the needs which must arise In

HIGH ELECTRICAL PRESSURES
A New California Plant Which will
Employ 10000 Volts.

Until very recently it was not deemed
safe to transmit power in the form of
electricity at greater pressure than TO-
600 or $4,000 volts Between Niagara
and Buffalo voltage of 1000 is now
employed, hut this will be doubled before
many weeks. The pressure on the For
SOM Sacramento line in California is H.
600 volts. A line in Colorado which oper-
ateS machinery in mines near Canyon
City transmits its current al 10000 volts.
The two most remarkable transmission
plants in this country, and probably in
the world. in point of vOltages, are those
at Telluride, Col, and the line from San
Bernardino to Los Angeles, Cal The
former is short, but carries the current
at 10000 volts. This pressure was adopt
ed as regular thing after a series of
tests in which a voltage of 10000 was
successfully sustained for 81 consecutive
days. The San Bernardno line though,
while worked at only 5000 volts, is So
miles long and carries no less than TO-
900 horse power. On the whole. electri-
clans regard it the boldest achievement
in electrical transmission yet recorded
Within the next few months an even
more notable success will probably be an
nounced from California a corporation
which now controls several powerhouses
and is supplying current to towns and
mining districts in Yuba and Nevada
counties has nearly completed line to
Oakland and San Francisco that will be
40 miles in length. On some of its ex.
listing lines the company is transmitting
at 10000 and $1,000 volts. But the
transformers will be capable of giving
10000. 10000 or $1,000 on the volts. and
the higher pressure will be resorted to as
soon as the losses which result from 81
increasing load exceed 10 per cent.
The line is being constructed with a view
to standing 10000 volts regularly New
