New Plant at Perth, Australia The construction of a new complete steam and electrical plant for the Perth Tramways, Ltd., Perth, Western Australia, is progressing rapidly. The equipment for the station will be as follows: Two 250-h.p. Babcock & Wilcox boilers, with wrought headers; two 325-h.p. tandem compound engines built by the Robb Engineering Company, of Amherst, N. S.; two outside packed single cylinder double plunger feed pumps, each capable of feeding 500h.p. of boilers; two 225-kw. direct connected railway generators, manufactured by the General Electric Company, together with switchboard and accessories. A complete system of steam exhaust feed water and drip piping will be installed, and all fittings in high pressure piping will be made of gun iron; all joints are of the Van Stone type, and each boiler is equipped with a No. 12 1/2 Hayden & Derby double tube lifting injector. All the piping in the plant will be covered by H. W. Johns fire-felt covering; Chapman valves will be used. The steel roof trusses and purlins for the car barn were furnished by E. B. Gumaer, Jersey City, and the corrugated roof covering was furnished by McCullough Iron Company, of Wilmington, Del. Ten new cars have been ordered from the J. G. Brill Company, of Philadelphia. These will be single truck, 18-ft. bodies, with cross seats and center aisle, and will be mounted on Brill 21-E trucks. The 9-in. girder rail, with fittings for 2 miles of the system, was furnished by the Pennsylvania Steel Company. The remainder of the rails were shipped from Belgium. The special work of hard center construction was furnished by William Wharton, Jr. & Company, of Philadelphia. J. G. White & Company, of New York, prepared the plans for the foundations and buildings, and all detailed drawings for temporary power house, car barn and power plant, and acted as the general purchasing agents in the United States for the London syndicate owning the tramways. W. E. Cooke, representing the London owners, has complete engineering supervision of the erection of the new plant. |
