I feel old as dirt. Yesterday we were visiting a museum and came across a steam powered turbine generator set which came out of a coal fired power plant which was decommissioned almost 50 years ago.
The trouble? Last time I saw this device it was operating. 60 years ago. I remember the roar and vibration of the ball mills used to pulverize the coal before it was blown into the boilers. The generator seemed much bigger back then, but I was 10 at the time.
