  • Abstract
    THE TREND in the construction and erection of vertical water-wheel generators is to increasingly larger units as experience and materials permit. The machining tolerances called for become very remarkable as the sizes increase. The practices of the Canadian Westinghouse Company with approximately 9-million installed horsepower of generator experience can be used to illustrate modern construction and erection practices.
