Afurther reason given was that the single-phase apparatus hadbeen developed to a more practical stage than three-phaserailway apparatus. While it would have been interesting tocompare both systems under like conditions, it was felt thatthis would only complicate matters, and besides, the behavior probably be given up when the experiments cease. Two ofthe four locomotive boilers installed furnish steam to two270-hp DeLaval turbines, each of which is connected throughgearing to a double generator.
