Among the improvements added to the company's equipment under those plans will be a low-pressure steam turbine engine directly connected to a reciprocating engine. The steam turbine engine now in use by the company is high pressure. The low-pressure engine will take the exhaust steam from the reciprocating engine and from it will develop the same amount of power generated by the reciprocating engine, thus getting from the same amount of coal twice the amount of power that was formerly possible.
