Abstract :
This paper deals with the shop work on Canadian Westinghouse water-wheel generators and with their installation at various hydroelectric stations. The mechanical aspects of such machines are important to the erection as well as in the production operations. The tolerances called for are remarkably close considering the size and weight of the components and the fact that large machines are erected on site. The remarks on design are confined to those concerning components.
