The Curtis Turbine.
The new 500 killowatt Curtis turbine that is being installed by the Wellington Electrical Syndicate will be in working order in about a fortnight. It has been erected on a concrete base, built on a solid bottom, and as it can be worked at option on the three-phase or single-phase principle, the engine will be a very useful one for the city when the works are taken over from the syndicate. The turbine has been erected under the supervision of Mr. G. S. Maben, engineer and manager for the syndicate. A new Babcock boiler has arrived, and a start will be made with its foundations in the immediate future.
