*Hfi modern design JERGUSON TRUSCALE GAGE gives new accuracy for reading of liquid levels in boilers, deaerating tanks, etc
Here is the remote reading gage which incorporates all of the newest engineering features! The Jerguson Truscale has exceptional sensitivity, with ability to register changes os small as of 1% of range! The
translucent dial scale is clearly lighted from be* hind, and is easy to read.
Available with positive alarm system. Lights and horn signal too high or too low water level.
'ATillable with Repeaters which repest accurate level readings at auxiliary loca tions.

visualized a few years ago," Sporn stated. "Efficiencies oi conversion of the heat In fuel into electric energy of the order of 50% ere distinct possibilities,"
Since crossing the barrier of critical pressures requires new concepts of tur bine design, the new Philo plant unit will be a developmental model and will be relatively small as modern general* Ing units go. The 120,000-kw capacity will increase net generating capacity of Philo ploni--one of Ohio's largest--to 495,000 kw. The new plant will replace a 40,000-kw unit built In 1923.
Tbo ACE president stated that'this new advance will be made available to ihe entire electric power industry. He promised that, "In conformity with tra dition, a more detailed ond technical initial description of the development will appear in the industry press within the next lew weeks. When the project - is completed, it will be described in still greater detail."

Boccdikc or atomic rvet, long predicted by scientists, b now an accomplished faot, oeeording to the Atomic Energy Commis sion. Gordon Dean, retiring chairman of A EC, announced this historic accomplish* ment on June 4ih at the Edison Electric Institute meeting In Atlantic City. The reactor testing station at Arco, Idaho, that produced the first useful atomic power in December 1951, has been sble to generate more than a pound o( plutonium tor every pound of aranium 235 burned, he said. Work was under the direction of Drs W Zlnn, Llchtenburger and colleagues.

By mid-summer last year, both unita of the first .flection of the Duke Power Company's new Lee Station had gone Into service. Designed ond built by Duko Power's own organization, Lee Station's .190,000 kilowatts help fill the growing power needs of industrialized South Carolina.
Each of the station's two 90,000/100,000-kw hirbine-generators is powered by a boiler de signed and built by Combustion Engineering-- Superheater, Inc. These C-E Steam Generating Units ore fired by pulverized coal, and furnish
steam at a throttle pressure of 1250 psi and 950 F, reheated to 950 F.
Two Ljungstrom Air Preheaters are used with each boiler. These Ljungstroms preheat com bustion air to 620 F and cool exit gases to 310 F.
Lee Station is onother example of the una nimity with which the Ljungstrom Air Preheater is accepted as a standard unit for high-efficiency steam generators. Since tho war, Ljungstrom Air Preheaters have been specified for an hourly capacity of over 285,000,000 pounds of steam.
