Abridgment of recent inprovements in turbine generators

During the last few years there has been a very rapid increase in the rating of turbine generators. A considerable amount of development work has been necessary in order to make these increases possible, and this paper gives a summary of the problems which have been encountered, and solved, by engineers of the Westinghouse Elec. et Mfg. Co. The present status of the design of turbine generators is given, and the probable directions of future developments are indicated.
