Description
Caption: A 5-TONS GRAB operated by an electric transporter crane picks up five tons of coal at a time to load on to the conveyer belt which leads to the bunkers of Battersea Power Station. The coal used is small coal, or slack, specially selected because of its low sulphur content. The grab is taking coal from the reserve store of about 70,000 tons, enough to run the station for two months at normal load. Underneath these hills of coal is the intricate system of intakes which supply water from the Thames for the boilers.
