some 10000 pounds, and yet so freely
are they carried upon cushion Of oil
that this enormous weight can be re-
volved by one finger.
Even at the very low rate Of IS
pounds of steam per hour per kilowatt
this unit would require $4,000 pounds
of water evaporated into steam each
hour to supply it when running at its
rated capacity. The days supply
would make a ALI foot cube or fill
a pond 28 SO feet to depth of S
feet, and at the usual rate of $l.50 per
thousand cubic feet would cost over
$l05.00 per day. As rs pounds OF
condensing water is necessary to con.
dense one pound of steam it would
require 4202 cubic feet per minute, or
as much water as would issue in jet
one foot in diameter, with a velocity
that would carry it to a height Of l23
feet; or as much water as would flow
naturally over weir or dam in a
sheet foot thick and 2l feet wide.
Supposing one pound Of coal to
evaporate and superheat "a pounds of
water. 1t would take $4,000 pounds,
or 200 tons OF coal per day to make
the steam to run this turbine. This
would make pyramid 40 feet square
on the base and q l-2 feet in height,
and would take train OF ten 30-ton
cars for its transportation. It's cost
delivered would be, for the ordinary
case, somewhere around $1,000.
IF all applied to lighting, the $4,000
kilowatts, or 10000 horsepower,
which this unit will generate, would
maintain about $4,000 l6-candle-
power incandescent lamps, which, if
hung, in a straight line, would supply
ample Illumination to 600 miles Of hall
ways 10 feet wide, or would supply
$1,000 arc lamps, which If spaced $50
feet apart, would illuminate 900 miles
Of ordinary streets Using the output
Of this unit for fan-motor service, l50,
900 Of these little machines could be
kept going. The energy delivered at
the terminals Of the generator during
a days run at full load would be suf-
6cient to melt a cone Of copper 2l feet
in diameter at the base and 100 feet
high, or 400 miles Of copper rod one
inch in diameter
It will take 2 men to operate this
wonderful machine and all its auxil-
iaries, not including the boiler-room
equipment.

LARGEST TURBoGENERAToR

On the testing floor Of the turbine
shop Of the General Electric Comp
any's plant in Schenectady stands the
largest steam turbine generator in
the world. Four of these mammoth
machines, capable of producing 10000
horsepower each, have been ordered,
and two will soon be put in service at
Chicago by the Chicago Edison Com
pany, and two in New York City by
the New York Edison Company, The
first Of these giant machines will be
ready for installation early this fall,
and once it is set up in Chicago the
Edison Company's output will be in
creased by the work Of twenty thou
sand horses, although the entire floor
space occupied by the turbogenerator
is oniy 40 square feet,
The Curtis turbo-generator is an
electric generator mounted above a
steam turbine engine and direct-con-
ncctel to the, same shaft
To those not familiar with engineer
ing problems it is difficult to compre-
hend what 10000 electrical horse
power really means,
In this great turbine one of the
rotating disks, which carries the
blades against which the expanding
steam strikes, imparting its energy to
the shaft, is II feet 8 inches in dia-
meter and runs at $50 revolutions per
minute. If it ran along the ground
at this rate it would so 500 miles in
a minute, or nearly Sl60 miles day,
and would run from New York to San
Francisco in 9 IL hours. This and

tute the moving part OF the turbine,

ing fields Of the generator, weigh
