One-Nczc B. X. 4. POzcerhOuse.

The Allis-C Chalmers Company. which has been
making preparations for some months to enter
the electrical field in opposition to the Westing-
house and General Electric interests, has OBJ
tanned what is said to be one of the largest con-
tracts of this kind ever placed in the world.
The contract calls tor nearly 100000 horsepower
equipment and represents an expenditure of up

The contract was awarded by Thomas L. Muir

power. The equipment will include twelve tur-
bincs of $500 kilowatts capacity each.
The largest turbine contract hitherto placed
was recently obtained by the Westinghouse in
terests who are to equip the Long Island City
plant of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
with three 300 kilowatt machines. The next
largest contract was lately taken by the General
Electric Company for three 5000 kilowatt tur-
bines for the Commonwealth Electric Companys
plant at South Chicago. The Allis- Chalmers con-
tract is the first large contract which they have
obtained for electrical equipment
The controlling interest in the company is held
by L. D. Adams. When the company decided 10
build electrical equipment arrangements were
practically contaminated to build additions to
the shops at Milwaukee. 1t was, however
thought that at that time, as nearly year
might elapse before the plants would be in per
