The alpk a e on s e o show exact location and
position of equipment in building. There were exactly
seven boilers in building lettered A to G; these boilers
were actually marked in this manner. Boilers A to F inolu-
sive were German Babcock Wilcox type. The pressure in
kg.'s of steam per square centimeter or atmospheres for
these boilers was about 25 and temperature 3000 C. Boiler
G was a German Steinmuler type and its pressure in kg.'s
of stem per square centimeter was about 32 and temperature
of 320' C. I, J and K were turbines; turbines I and J were
supplied steam by boilers A to F inclusive. Turbine K was
supplied steam by boiler G. Turbine K and boiler G were
installed by the Germans during World War II by the A.E.G.
(Allgemeine :kicz-izitsGesellechaft) firm. The M section
.of building was the pumping room. The ground floor of
north section of building contained the chemical softening
of water; other floors of this section were believed to be
switching and relay rooms.

a new boiler (Babcock Wilcox type) was peIng
nst?edin this building and its actual lettering was
going to be H. The product/v*185s of this boiler was going
to be 50 tn, per hour and its pressure in kg.'s of steam
per square centimeter or atm2spheres was to be about 40
and temperature of about 355v C. The letter L in building
ff.t. 11, abov27 was reserved for a turbine which was to be
purchased from Sweden (Stal type); this turbine was to be
mf.00.16:1 i2r.b7.,7' boiler H and its power was to be 10 mega-
watts. The installing of this new boiler and turbine was
expected to be completed by the end of 1954.
# 14. New Construction: a new chimney was to be built at this
ireirrn-7731=H and turbine L. It was to be of iron, its
exact height 40 m.; and completed by the end of 1954.
