Assembling a Generator, Westinghouse Works.

Overall-clad workmen assemble a big turbine-like thing, which I assume is the generator. That?s it, really, but it?s a mighty piece of equipment and thus kind of fun to watch being assembled. A nice bit of factory history. A 1904 Biograph film.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
