COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

inghouse two-phase alternating current dynamos, one of 75kilowatt and one of 45-kilowatt capacity, with four induction motors, having a combined output of 100 horse power; a 30-kilowatt 500-volt constant potential generator with six motors, and a Wood series arc light machine for lighting the grounds and Military Hall. The transformer capacity of the alternating plant is for seven hundred 16-candle power incandescent lamps. The prime motors for the plant are 100 horse power and 50 horse power Ideal steam engines, and a 50 horse power Westinghouse steam engine.
