Maintenance of these plants, heart1
of the CP4L power operation, is a 1
program that grows each yettf. If.

cP&L's family of generators has
grown from 13 to 22 in the past to
years. The 23Td (rtear Asheville)
will be added in 1954; another (Beer
Eoxboro) In 1066.
Like people, their personalities
and performance vary With age.
CPfcL'S oldest Is the Blewett Falls
hydroelectric plant on the Pee Dee
River near Rockingham. Its 33,590
hbrsepower generators have operat
ed continuously, except for an oc
casional stoppage due to floods, sin
ce June, 1012. For Its age, it is hale
ahd hearty.
The company's oldest steam-elec
tric plant is at BHt Mountain near
Asheville Its 16.989-hOrsepower gen
erators went into service is 10)6,
just In time to supply power te Ash
eville after the big 1916 flood.
The newest is a glistening 340,000
horsepewer turbine-generator at the
Harry Fitrtmgh Lee plant near
Goldsboro, making history last year
as the world's first coal-fired unit
designed for computer operation.
The new Lee unit to more complex
and more costly than its predeces
sors. By the same token, it is more
efficieBt aad bigger.
Paul S. Colby, manager of CP8t
L's operating and engineering de
partment, points out: "To us, effi
ciency means producing the maxi
mum kilowatts with nataimam use
of fuel. We try to wring every kil
owatt-bour possible from the more
than AVt billion pounds of eoal we
will use in the current year to
serve a power lead that doubles
every 8% years."
He credits improved plant tech
i nology aad careful operation and
maintenance with ever increasing
efficiencies that have brough low
