badin bulletin FaOI THIRTnN cash and fifty d,pllars each year that she remains speechless. Kindly notify a week in advance. Note—This is the last of the series lessons on rotary station equipment. From the Electric Shop Roxy's answer to the question of ^here he contracted chills: “Say, Fel- Ws; that was some chill; and if you take a trip to Building No. 7 dur- one of the Captain’s political dis courses, the vibrations of sound waves ^^anating from that prince of orators yill not only give you the shakes, as did me, but you will readily see why ^hey had to put steel reinforcing around smokestack at the Carbon Plant.’' C. M. Ramsey, of Mr. Graham’s crew, had the misfortune to get hit on ^he head by a piece of the tile roofing ^at fell from the top of the new Pot ^oom a few days ago. But luckily for Ramsey he did not get the full benefit of the fall. W. H. Cline, one of our trouble has left us. Mr. Cline had been ^ith us for a good while, and we hated ^0 see him go; but we wish him much ^'iccess in his new job. W. M. Myers says that he has already -had one proposal of marriage, leap year is not half gone yet. Shorty Baumgardner has been away for several days, on a trip to New York. Narrows Power House ^6 really need co-operation more now than anything else. I would suggest, ^■fter the electrical school closes, for all Parties concerned in the operation and efficiency of the power-house to get to gether as much as once every two weeks talk things over, going into detail, explaining fully the layout of the sta- the characteristics of the electrical and hydraulic machinery. This would Prove a benefit to all concerned. The eginners would have a better chance ® learn, and the others who are familiar ''^ith the station would keep freshened ^P. After having a couple of months of igh Water, more than we could utilize, e flow of the river has fallen back to and we are utilizing the whole Source, carrying a load of approximately, indicated by meters, forty-five thou sand kilowatts; total output for twenty- '^r hours aggregating one million kilo SHOWING HOW T. HAM HAS A WAY OF GETTING HIMSELF SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY watt hours. Under present conditions, normal flow of water and moderate weather, the efficiency of the station is at its highest. I must say, at present, this is an exceptionally good period for generating stations in this locality. The dredging of the tailrace will no doubt take place in the near future. The engineers are getting things ready. Mr. Rice and force have been busying themselves for the past month looking over the situation, taking cross sec tions and sounding. It is not known yet just who will get the contract to do the proposed work, but we rather suspect that B. H. Hardaway Contracting Com pany, of Columbus, Ga., as the dam was built by the Hardaway Contracting Com pany. The order for the D. C. generator for No. 2 unit has been in for some time, but the General Electric Company hasn’t been able to get it out yet. Mr. Gomo expects to have the D. C. generator here by the first of June, and the installation of same to take place immediately. No. 1 exhaust fan is to be installed some time soon. The concrete base for the D. C. motor and fan has been ready for the past two months. The installa tion of the fan has been delayed due to shortage of material. Gomo ran off with the band to Mount Pleasant, and stayed three days. If happenings like this continue we wouldn’t be surprised to hear of Clark’s wedding announcement. L/iSCR/JTOf^y Mr. H. V. Churchill and Mr. R. C. Bromelmeier visited the laboratory re cently, the purpose of their trip being to check up on chemical apparatus used at this place. E. F. Curlee has accepted a position as assistant in the metal room. Curlee worked with us during the summer and fall of 1918. Mr. N. T. Clodfelter has reconsidered, and will not leave the laboratory as an nounced in last month’s Bulletin. Mr. W. G. Dotson’s youngest sister was a recent visitor to the laboratory. J. 0. Cherry has returned to work after a few days’ illness. —H. A. L.
