MARYLAND'S NEW MARVEL.
Has a Dam that Is n Power House
ut the Same Time.


About twelve miles from the city of
Baltimore, on the Patapsco River. there
is now nearing completion what is prob
ably the most extraordinary power plant
in the United States. if not in the world
writes Arthur II. Goldsborough in the
Technical World Magazine.
Briefly speaking, the dam and power
house are one; in other words. the dam
is made hollow. and the interior, which
is about 200 feet long and twenty-eight
feet wide. is utilized for the generating
machinery.
At the present time the equipment of
the plant consists OF two alterntors. di-
rvctly connected TO two 50a-horsepower
horizontal turbines. This will be shortly
enlarged by the addition Of another tur-
bine and alternator of equal power.
bringing the total horse power of the
plant up TO 1,J00.
The interior Of the power house. which
Is constructed entirely Of concrete and
steel, is remarkably well lighted and
ventilated This is accomplished by the
novel construction Of the dam. which is
formed somewhat in the shape Of the let
ter $; the upper portion Of the dam
slopes at an angle Of 45 degrees; this. in
connection with the lower slope. throws
the excess water flowing over the dam
away from the outer wall
This wall is pierced through with MANY
windows. giving splendid Illumination 10
the Interior Of the power house. These
windows can be opened. and one may
look out and see the water pouring in
torrents over his head
Ventilation is easily secured by two
hooded entrances. one on each side of
the river, by means OF which one may
enter on the Baltimore County side. pass
through the power house under the dam.
and emerge on the Howard County side;
the river at this point being about 200
feet wide II is one more triumph for
modern skill and genius
