A POWER STATION IN SZECHUAN

ONLY $200 MILES FROM TIBET BORDER

MIGHTY EFFORT IN MACHINERY TRANSPORT

Far away in the interior of China, in the province of Szechuen, 200 miles east from Tibet, a little hydro-electric plant is providing light to Tachiealu, thanks to the enterprise of the Mai Ming Electric Light Company Here there has been installed a 23 kw, generator driven by a 33.8 h.p. water turbine, Interest in the plant, it will be seen is not the interest that centers about. a mammoth undertaking. There is no dam of record-breaking size, there are no long transmission lines at high voltage or wide spread distribution network-just oue generator, supplied from stock by the General Electric Company, and one turbine (of make unknown to us), furnished by the same rendor company.
