Westinghouse

Turbine and single-shaft turbo-generator (located to the left of the turbine in the photo above), which produced 165,000 kilowatts, a true feat during it's time. Below is a photo taken circa 1935 but from a different angle.

(145pm) Awsome, Motts! Thanks for the comparison shot! Hey, in Motts' shot, under the huge curved pipe....does anyone see that mess? It looks like a large nest of some kind. I don't see anything under the 1935 pic, albeit on the other side.......????

Im an antique collecter and i would just like to add : Westinghouse used to make motorized fans and today for collecters they are VERY valuable.
