The heavy casting surrounding the machine was also wrecked. What caused the accident is ,not known. The rotor was of cast iron, while present prac tice is to make' them of cast steel. It was running at a rate of 900 revolutions per minute, which gave a velocity of some 11,000 feet per second to the outer rim of the rotor.
