A VIEW OF THE AVIEMORE POWER-HOUSE, which is 410ft long and 76ft wide. The No. 4 generator pit is in the foreground, and it will house the turbine runner, stator, and rotor shown in the background. In the middle of the picture, testing is in progress for the commissioning of No. 3 generator, which took place yesterday. This brings Aviemore’s generating capacity to 165,000 kilowatts, and when No. 4 generator is commissioned in about four months the station will reach its maximum capacity of 220,000 kilowatts.
