Description
Caption: TWO OF THE ROTORS of the 105,000-kilowatts turbine set in the builders' workshop before being sent to Battersea. In the foreground is the intermediate-pressure rotor, with its eighteen rings of thousands of stainless steel blades. The rings increase in size to allow for the expansion of the steam as it flows through the turbine. In the low-pressure turbine the steam enters at the centre and passes to left and right, which accounts for the smallest rings of the low-pressure rotor (in the background) being in the centre.
