Default Snowy scheme

The first large generators installed in the Snowy Hydro scheme were British made . But the SMHEA quickly changed over to Japanese manufactured generaters , probably for cost reasons . MIKE

OK, I'm impressed. No CNC in those days.
Always wondered how deep an OxyAcet. would cut....

G'day All, Life was simpler back then, I noticed that no-one had any safety glasses, nor steel capped boots, OH&S can be a damn nuisance, but personally I would not turn anything on my lathe without them, great site and pictures, shame it's all history now, thanks for posting the link, cheers Dennis
