CHAPTER II, SECTION 3
Stations 1831.01 and 1831.02 were identical
electrically. Power to each of the stations was
supplied by a 10 KW, 120/208-volt, 3-phase
gasoline engine generator. A one-inch conduit
with four +8 conductors was installed from the
generator to a 12-circuit lighting panel. One 10amp, 120-volt, 3-wire receptacle was installed
for radio use and a signal cabinet was mounted
over the radio receiver bench. A %-inch conduit
with two #12 conductors was installed from
the signal cabinet to an EG&G relay. For this
relay, a 34-inch conduit with two +12 conductors terminated in a reversing magnetic starter.
A one-inch conduit with seven #12 conductors
was installed from the starter to the door closer
unit which consisted of a 4 HP motor and two
limit switches. Power was provided from the
lighting panel by a %-inch conduit with three
#12 conductors. The door was opened and
closed by radio signal.
A
20-amp,
120-volt,
single-phase , 3-wire receptacle was installed for
