Windage cover plates are secured between the wheels and spacer of a turbine rotor to prevent hot flow path gas ingestion into the wheelspace cavities. Each cover plate includes a linear, axially extending body curved circumferentially with a radially outwardly directed wall at one axial end. The wall defines a axially opening recess for receiving a dovetail lug. The cover plate includes an axially extending tongue received in a circumferential groove of the spacer. The cover plate is secured with the tongue in the groove and dovetail lug in the recess. Lap joints between circumferentially adjacent cover plates are provided.

1. A cover plate for disposition in the space between a turbine rotor wheel and a spacer rotatable about an axis wherein the wheel has circumferentially spaced buckets, including bucket dovetails with dovetail lugs extending axially in one direction and the spacer includes a circumferentially extending groove in general spaced registration with said lugs, comprising:a cover plate body having along one side an axially extending tongue for engaging in the groove of the spacer and a recess along an axially opposite side for receiving one of the axially extending lugs of the bucket dovetail; and a flange projecting from each of the opposite ends of said cover plate body for engaging an adjoining cover plate about the turbine rotor.
