The dynamo(s) shall be rated with such margin of safety that they will not be in it jured if subjected to a temporary overload of per cent. above such rating. (See Note: p. 44., sec. 22.) The foundation(s) for the (se) dynamo(s) laid, or of other material subject to the approval of the engineer, sufficient length, width, and depth to safely and to give an even bearing surface at every point. If metal is used to fasten framing or baseframe to the foundation it must be thoroughly insulated where it passes through them, and at all places liable to come in contact with the dynamo must be countersunk and covered with a moisture-proof insulating compound. All necessary excavating and filling, and the removal of all débris shall be done by the contractor. The height of the dynamo purchaser.

There shall be provided for each circuit one ampère meter for indicating the current in said circuit, one ground detector which shall continuously indicate the insulation from the ground maintained at both poles and approximately the distance of any ground from the station, and one pair of efficient lighting arresters. There shall also be provided one testing magneto capable of ringing through ohms. This contractor shall carry to the switchboard location at all regulator, exciter, auxiliary, and main wires, leaving the ends coiled up neatly, properly tagged and sufficiently long to make the necessary switchboard connections. All main wires shall have a capacity of at least and no wire smaller than C.

For systems operating dynamos and circuits in parallel, the appliances and connections shall be such as will permit adding to or taking from the circuit any dynamo without in any manner affecting the operation of the remaining dynamos in circuit or the candle power of the lamps, and will permit the cutting in or out of any circuit without affecting the stability of other circuits. For systems operating one dynamo for each circuit or series of circuits the connections shall be such as will permit any circuit to be connected to or disconnected from any dynamo with certainty and rapidity.
