WAIKAREMOANA GENERATORS AND SWITCHBOARD.—On top: The two great turbo-generators in the Waikaremoana hydro-electric station which have each a capacity equivalent to 26,800 horse power, and each is approximately equivalent in capacity to the four units combined at Mangahao. The photograph shows the units from the turbine end, the many short arms operating the vanes which direct the water at high pressure upon the turbine rotor blades. To the left are the governors which control the speed of turbines and generators. The illustration at the bottom is of the switchboard which is capable of setting all this power in motion.
