Duration: 12:38 A silent black-and-white archival industrial film documenting hydroelectric power generation. The footage opens dramatically with rushing floodwaters cascading over a dam spillway while spectators watch from the banks. It then moves inside a massive power plant hall lined with rows of enormous electrical generators and turbines stretching into the distance. Later sequences show heavy construction equipment and cranes working along a riverbank, suggesting the film documents both the power generated by a dam and the engineering work involved in building or expanding the facility. The film appears to date from the early 20th century.
