I
sp
SEE

AND
sp
SO
THEY
sp
PUT
THREE

THAT
WAS
UNTIL
THE

AND
THE
THEN
THEY
GOT
NATIONALIZED
sp
THEN
THEY
THEY

THEY
GOT

NOW
THEY
SHOULD
BE
BE
PERFECTLY

SO
HE
MADE
A

I
DID
THE
THREE

THEY
CALL
IT
sp
OH

NOW
THAT

HIGH
HIGH
HIGH

AND
IT

THREE

LONG
AND
A

WIDE
AND
THEY'VE
NEVER
TOUCHED

sp
IT'S
FED
BY

sp
AND
WHEN
THE
HEAVY

'S
HEAVY
ER

IT
RISES
YOU
SEE

YOU'VE
GOT
TO
sp
PUT
MORE

SWITCH
MORE

ON
TO
THE

DOWN
BELOW
IN
THE

sp
WE'VE

HITS
IT
YOU
SEE

sp
IT
ISN'T
LIKE

sp
I'VE
sp
BEEN
IN

STATIONS
AS
WELL
AS

TURBINES
A
LONG

BUT
WITH

sp
YOU
CAN
USE

sp
YES
sp
G
sp

AND
THAT
ER

AND
THEN
THROUGH
THE

THROUGH
THE

AND
IT
ITS
GOT
BACK
INTO

AT

BUT
WITH

sp
ONCE
IT'S
HIT
THE

BUT
YOU
CAN'T

THAT
YOU
CAN
ON

THERE'S

sp
HOW
WAS
THE

sp
CONVEYED

DOWN
THROUGH

I
SEE
HOW
MANY

{OOV}
NINE
sp
THEY'RE
NINE

ARE
THEY
AS

THE
THEN
THE

REDUCED
ALL

SO
YOU
CAN
IMAGINE
WHAT'S
COMING

ALL
THAT

COMING
THROUGH

THEY'RE
ER
GENERATORS
sp
I
sp
SEE
GENERATES
THE
CURRENT
sp
HOW
HOW
WAS
THE
IT'S
LIKE
sp
LIKE
THIS
YOU
SEE
ER
ER
ER
IT'S
sp
IT'S
ONE
MAGNET
WORKING
A
AGAINST
ANOTHER
I
sp
SEE
IS
THERE
A
COIL
OF
WIRE
ROUND
IT
ER
OH
YES
THE
LOT
sp
YOU
SEE
THE
OUT
THE
ER
sp
THE
ROTOR
sp
AND
THEN
THERE'S
THE
STATOR
sp
OUTSIDE
IT'S
sp
MASSIVE
sp
COIL
MILLIONS
OF
sp
MI
THOUSANDS
OF
MILES
OF
WIRE
sp
AND
THEN
THERE'S
A
GAP
BETWEEN
YOU
SEE
sp
THE
HIGHER
THE
THE
VOLTAGE
sp
THE
CLOSER
THAT
GAP
IS
sp
YOU
CAN'T
ADJUST
IT
sp
IT'S
WAY
IT'S
ORIGINALLY
DESIGNED
AND
MADE
sp
AND
THAT
sp
PRODUCES
THE
sp
{OOV}
THE
sp
ER
ELECTRICAL
sp
YOU
CAN'T
SEE
IT
OF
COURSE
BUT
WE
KNOW
THAT
EVERYBODY
KNOWS
sp
YOU
CAN'T
SEE
IT
BUT
THAT'S
WHERE
IT'S
sp
GENERATED
IN
BETWEEN
THE
sp
IN
BETWEEN
THOSE
TWO
sp
THAT'S
sp
NOW
sp
IT'S
sp
IT'S
sp
IT'S
WORKING
sp
THE
{OOV}
sp
IS
WORKING
AGAINST
sp
THE
POWER
sp
YOU
SEE
sp
YOU
SEE
THAT'S
THE
GENERATOR
sp
AND
THESE
ARE
THE
sp
THESE
ARE
THE
COILS
THAT'S
THE
ROTOR
sp
THAT
GOES
ROUND
sp
I
SEE
sp
AND
THE
ELECTRICITY
'S
GENERATED
IN
THE
CENTRE
sp
THIS
IS
ALL
THE
APPARATUS
sp
THAT
GOES
UP
sp
TO
DRIVE
IT
sp
AND
THEN
THERE'S
GOVERNORS
AND
ALL
THAT
SORT
OF
THING
TO
REGULATE
IT
TO
KEEP
IT
EXACT
sp
TO
sp
KEEP
IT
IN
ITS

PLACE
SO
ALL
THE
ENGINEERS
KNOWS
WHAT
THEY'RE
DOING
sp
ANYWAY
IF
IF
YOU'VE
ANY
ENGIN
ENGINEERING
FRIENDS
THEY'D
BE
ABLE
TO
EXPLAIN
THAT
sp
TO
YOU
sp
I
sp
CAN
DO
IT
BUT
IT'D
sp
TAKE
sp
THANKS
VERY
MUCH
A
LONG
TIME
IT'D
TAKE
A
LONG

sp
OOH
AYE
ER
sp
IT'S
IT'S
ER
HIGHLY
TECHNICAL
AND
sp
I
YES
I
MEAN
I
I
IT'S
A
sp
LONG
TIME
SINCE
I
LEFT
IT
sp
THERE
WOULD
BE
SOMEBODY
ON

sp
TWENTY
FOUR

A

OH
YES
sp
CONTINUOUS
THEY
NEVER
STOPPED
sp
IT'S
A
sp
PUBLIC
WHAT
THEY
CALL
ER
MR
{GAP_ANONYMIZATION}
HERE
USED
TO
SAY

IT'S
A
PUBLIC
SERVICE
THAT
MUST
BE
KEPT
GOING

THEY
WORKED
ALL
NIGHT
SOMETIMES
ON
BREAKDOWNS
YOU
KNOW
sp
THEY'RE
INSIDE
BOILERS
{OOV}
AND
sp
THE
COAL
PASSING
THROUGH
YOU
KNOW

BUT
NOW
IN

THE
IT
COMES
STRAIGHT

IT'S

ON
THESE

MERRY
GO
ROUND

THAT
GO
SLOW
AND
THEY

STOP
OVER

THEN
IT'S
ALL

PULVERIZED
WITH

HEAVY
STEEL
BALLS
INTO
POWDER
sp
AND
COAL
AND
sp
INTO
THE
FURNACES
IT'S
sp
JUST
BLOWN
IN

AT
A
TERRIFIC
PRESSURE
sp
AND
THAT'S
THE
FURNACE
THAT
sp
CREATES
sp
THE

AND
THE

GOES
THEN
TO

IS
THAT
RIGHT

I
USED
