Because of the relatively low speeds entalled, the first 1wo stands of the train will be driven through gears, and the four last stands will be direct coupled. The ratings of these motorn are 4,500, 4,500, 5,000, 5,000, und 4,000 h.D. respectively, their speeds being graded to sult the range of reductions stand by stand throughout the mill..
