The turbines were designed on so large a scale that they had to be brought from the manufacturers in sections and assembled in the power station. They had been built with such accuracy and precision that they worked satisfactorily at the first full test.

Posted by Ben 9/17/2005 1:48 AM | remove   No, they make them bigger, to closer tolerances, out of more exotic materials. Posted by TurboZutek 9/17/2005 8:38 PM | remove   Yes, but they do it with ease. The calculations for this behemoth were all done on slide rules and paper. The design was DRAWN and mocked up with WOOD. Weigh up the effort to produce this versus the effort to produce a modern large alternator with CAD/CAM and this wins hands down each and every time. It's nothing short of a fucking marvel! :-) Posted by maxt 11/9/2005 6:01 PM | remove   I like the fact that the gentleman is apparenlty unafraid to get all greased up in a nice looking suit.
