Have you seen "The Power House" on the old Navy base?  We should buy it from 
North Charleston and turn it into a dance club.  I'll send a picture later.

Just my point.  Some of he switchgear and instrumentation looks more modern 
than the early 1900s.  I suspect it was updated at some point in the past.  
Those are not 90 degree gauges from the early 1900s.  Gauges of that vintage 
would have their pivot points at the bottom and be round.

Looking closer I can see “1958” in the lower left corner of the meter.  That’s 
more likely.

It's unfortunate the reflection from the windows is right where it is.
There seems to be a manufacturer's name, but I cannot make out what it is.

Did they correct it since you read it? All I see is "Sulzer".

Yes. I messaged the author and he corrected it. If you look under unapproved

It is cool.  I especially like the architecture of the building.

Interestingly, looking at the distribution gear, parts of it appear to be more 
modern than 1912.  The protective relaying that’s in the switchgear looks more 
like 1930s vintage stuff. (Protective relaying is the little glass door covered 
boxes on the panels of the distribution gear and provides sensing for things 
like overvoltage, overcurrent and reverse current.)

I really like the building too.  Something about old industrial 
buildings with proper architecture...  I still remember a building along 
the NYThruway near Albany somewhere (maybe, I forget exactly where) that 
was a pump building or something, white block or concrete or stone or 
something, with big tall windows, every time I would drive by I thought 
how beautiful it was.

532hp from 3.7L? That's the sort of HP/liter the Crazy Finns get in OM60x 
powered road cars. Seems low for a modern direct injection prototype racer.

The engine is about 25 percent lighter than the V10 in the previous 
car, and it makes less power too, just 532 horsepower. But it's 
morefuel-efficient http://www.wired.com/autopia/tag/fuel-economy/. The 
car's new six-speed transmission is controlled electronically, not 
pneumatically, to save weight.


Its a 10hr race. If you can get 5 or 10mpg more out of it..
