The row of generators in the powerhouse

Down the length of a high hall the generators stand in line, each a broad drum with a dark red casing ringed by a steel railing, crowned by a black housing with chrome bands and a glowing red lamp on top; a polished walkway runs alongside, and a control panel stands at the left. The source notes that the electricity went to California, Nevada and Arizona.
