Georgetown PowerPlant Museum boiler pan P
Inside the Georgetown PowerPlant Museum, Seattle, Washington, USA. The photos are of one of the two large vertical turbines. The alternator is above the center and the turbine is below the center. The valve for steam entry can be seen at about center left with a series of springs/rods actuated by cams on a shaft for controlling steam flow from the pipe that one can barely see coming around the left side into the valve. The electrical connections can be seen going down the side protected by copper tubing. These are Curtis/GE turbines and were state of the art for efficiency. The boilers are in the other half of the building.
