"' ' 1 2"T TOKETEE FALLS POWER PLANT IN OPERATION The first unit of the eight-unit Toketee electric generating project of the California Oregon Power company went into operation for the first time recently. It is shown in the picture above as it appeared before the recent snowfalls. The power plant pictured here cost about $7 million. The water flowing from beneath the power plant will be reused by other units of the project further down stream. The main penstock has a sharp drop from the top, where the water tunnel empties into the plant facilities. Each of the three lower penstocks leads to a turbo-generator. At the top can be seen the surge tank, which acts as a safety valve, in case one or more penstocks are shut off. If it were not for this safety feature, the sudden added pressure in remaining penstocks might split them wide open, Copco engineers say. The photograph was taken by G A. Pickett, 637 J street, who was employed in the construction of the unit last year.
