POWER

' From Coal to Grid' 
A Visit to the New Battersea 
Generating Station 
 Relayed from Battersea Power Station 
Described by HOWARD MARSHALL 
R.U.R. come to life. A tour round a Robot building with silent stokers and sootless smoke belching forth from 360 feet stacks. Follow the coal fuel in process from the top of the transporter belts ... the banks of blowers ... mighty turbines, steel encased, like huge grey slugs rising from the cement floor-turbines which every hour use eight million gallons of condensing water from the River Thames ... generators ... safety valves ... and so we climb up into the control room with its flashing coloured lights, the nerve centre of this whole functional building, not unlike a steamer s bngde with its ship and semaphore control, the master control desk with buttons no larger than typewriter keys, the visual indicating desk, the switch room with rows of giant 12-ton switches ... leaving bv way of the transformers coupling on to London's network and the Grid.
