Abstract
This plant is the second to be built by this Company well outside the corporate limits of Detroit, the two being connected by a 120-kv. tower line arranged for supplying suburban areas and the outer part of the city. The plant has a planned ultimate capacity of 300,000 kw. It contains both d-c. and a-c. house service, turbinedriven units and nearly all important variable speed auxiliaries are driven by d-c. motors. Coal is used in pulverized form, the paper giving the conclusions which led to its adoption.
