On the right side of the view, directly back of the two men, is seen a turbine in c:aurse of construction. The turbines wili be three in number, one at the end of each of the three- penstocks, each to be operated by water brought thru the penstocks, or water conduits, from the forebay. From the tur- bines the water will be discharged into the spillway channel thru openings in the chan- nel walls. These turbines will form part of a large hydro-electric plant to be used to generate all the power needed in operating the lock. machinery throughout the canal zone, as well as the machine shops, the dry dock and coal-handling plant. The plant will also furnish electric lighting for the locks, zone towns, and perhaps electric power for the Panama Railroad. There are to be three 2,ooo kilowat gen- erators, two of which are to be in active service while one is to be kept as a reserve. At present there is a 6,o00 horsepower plant in operation at Miraflores. It is an oil-burn- ing steam plant and will be held in reserve in case of accident at the Gatun plant.
