The minimum plant to be provided by the contractors for this undertaking was specified by the Railroad Company as follows: “The tunnels shall be driven eastward from shafts in Manhattan and westward from the temporary shaft to be built near East Avenue in Long Island City, making a total of eight beadings, in all of which work shall be prosecuted simultaneously with the utmost diligence practicable. The Contractor must provide on each side of the river an adequate plant, including boilers, air compressors, hydraulic machinery, dynamos, and all other necessary plant, with a reasonable duplication to meet unusual and unexpected emergencies.”
