New Plant—The Electrical Eng-inoer reports that the first of the two new 5,000 K.W. turbines was started upon October 8, This machine will, it is hoped, be ready to supply power in about three weeks time, but endeavours will be made to get it into commission earlier, Owing to the delay in building and in delivery of the new switchgear there is little likelihood of the special switchgear for controlling the new gen-orators and underground feeders being here for rome time, but in the mean while arrangements are being made to adapt some of the existing switchgear for use until ite arrival.
