There’s almost as much stuff underground as there is in sight. The plant is located on a 1,000- acre tract lying along the river. The river channel itself under went a change to supply the enor mous quantity of water needed for condensing spent steam back into water. A dam, its top only three feet below the surface of the nor mal level of the steam, guarantees a basin of condensing water, but all the water taken from the river is returned to it.

Chamblee The Insurance Man electricity into the homes, stores and factories of the Carolinas will be graphically demonstrated at the opening of this new plant. Coal, brought over spurlines of two railways (950 tons per day at lull load on two units) is carried by endless belts to a crusher. From here it goes to pulverizers, which reduce it to the consistency of tal cum powder, and it is then blown through six jets in the huge boil ers, where it burns in suspension, much as gas or oil would do. The boilers are composed of miles of pipes made of special alloy steel, surrounding this fire nine stories high. Heat-resistant ce ment backs up the network of pipes, and behind it is still an other maze of pipes through which water circulates to all points of the boiler to keep the pipes next to the fire from burning up. Water, derived not from the river, but from deep wells near by, circulates in the pipes exnosed to the heat, and is transformed into steam at a pressure of 1350 pounds per square inch at a tern MODERN EQUIPMENT PLUS CARE equals a total of good work!

JL ELECTRICITY ' l-WM AMERICAN l||Hp HERITAGE The American Heritage consist! of a combination of Influences and ideas most of them originating in the early days of our history when a people's government was formed. In our nation where the de cision of the people is the ultimate authority, it follows that the welfare of the people is the guiding force of our way of life. Since the day of Benjamin Franklin and his kite and key, ELEC TRICITY has had a more and more important influence upon the peo ples' welfare It has made mass production of goods possible —it has eased burdens of work in industry and agriculture and has made the American standard of living the highest in the world. Electricity has made the American Heritage the envy of the world. -4l (CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY'] The Zebulon Record perature of 955 degrees Fahren heit, at which temperature the pipes are red hot. For the sake of economy, the heat from the huge fire is not released entnrely through the smokestack, but is blown back into the maelstrom by fans to add its ti rrperature. Little is left of the coal, but ashes are collected at the bottom of the furnace, ground to fine par.icles, and taken away in sluices to disposal grounds some distance from the plant. The steam is rushed to the tur bines and thrown against the cone-like flanges, which turn the turbines at a speed of 3890 revolu tions per minute, much as water turns a waterwheel, and this en ergy is transformed into electric ity in the venerator. It is at this point that the Lum ber River enters the picture. As the steam is released from its nar row and hits the revolv ing metal wings of the turbine, it loses its force because of expan sion. Presence of the spent steam in the far end of the chamber blocks the entry of working steam at the entry end. To get ex hausted steam out of the way, a condensing system, using the cool ing waters from the river, quickly reduces it to water, which is re turned to the boilers for reheating into steam. The 100,000 gallons circulating each hour in the boiler pipes is thus used over and over again. From the river comes 125,000,000 gallons per day for condensing, after being chlorinated at the in take. It is pumped to the conden sors through four 36-inch pumps, city of a million population.

The plant was designed and its construction supervised by Ebasco Services of New York. G. E. Chamerlin succeeded C. K. Kel sey as construction superintendent. Bythe Brothers of Charlotte and many other sub-contractors did most of the work. Resident Superintendent of the plant is J. S. Newbold.
