Description
Caption: THE MAIN CONTROL BOARD in Battersea Power Station is a marvel of scientific co-ordination. Dozens of dials record the actions of machinery all over the building. Above the dials are illuminated diagrammatic plans which indicate the exact state of all the circuits in charge of the controlling officer. In front two engine telegraphs, resembling those in a ship, transmit orders instantly to the turbine engineers.
