One of two 50.000 kilowatt generators in Detroit Dam powerhouse was found to have
lost a bearing the day before the scheduled pressing of a button on June 10, and will
be delayed for several weeks. Powerhouse generators are turbine fed by penstocks 15
feet in diameter. Combined output of Detroit's generators will be 100,000 kilowatts of
power. Lower: Control panel for the three generators associated with Detroit dam
