What reading level is Westinghouse Turbo Alternators book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Fig. 32 the nest of tubes is shown at the left, and the supporting sleeve at the right. On the outside of the sup- porting sleeve are four steel blocks fitting in slots spaced 90 degrees apart and secured with screws. These blocks ex- tend above the outer circumference of the casting and are machined to form a section of the surface of a sphere. The pedestal has a corresponding spher- ical bore, so that the combination forms Fig. 32 Turbine Bearing a self-aligning ball and socket bearing. Th...e steel blocks referred to above, are backed up with a few rolled-steel shims, the thickness of which are multi- ples of five one-thousandths of an inch. By transferring these shims from one side of the bearing to the other, the final adjustments for centering the spindle in its casing can be affected with the utmost nicety. In the larger and slower-running turbines, the so-called critical speed is never reached and consequently the concentric oil-cushioned tubes are not required. The bearings for these turbines are very like the supporting sleeve for the high-speed turbine bearings, except that they are babbitt-lined and made in halves.
