When opened up after the trouble, one of the turbine wheels was observed to vibrate strongly in resonance with some machinery in the station, and on the next day, through some slight altera- tion in the periodicity of the dirturb- | ance, another wheel of the rotor (which, of course, was stationary) was found to have taken up the vibration, whilst that which had oscilated so violently on the preceding day was at zeet. This observation appears to indicate the possibility of dangerous vibrations being set up by resonance with some source of vibration outside of the turbine itself.
