Y., plant, bearfair the gtelectric generating industry wil1 inscription ~ "Monument to Courrecalled this month when ,jv..Jthe fiftieth anniversary of Coinage. "The evtnt really will be onwealth Edison Company's marking fifty years qf progress in power station design and development," aaid Mr. Gale. "The early Fisk unit, rated at 5,000 kilowatts (approximately 0,700 horsepower) was a daring innovation for its day. When it was ordered there was no guarantee it would be commercially successful but there was a steadfast belief it would prove to be the foundation on which the industry of the future would be built. "The conventional ste^m eng- • •mmi "Monument To Courage" - - 1903-1953 ine had molMd the Xak ftf it. development for poster frpd notion at the start of the ceAtury. The, need for increasing the capacity of the machine ran into the obstacle of great weight and ponderousness. "But even though the steam engine had reached its limit, there was no letup in the , demand for electricity and it Wis this persistent growth that impelled the power companies to push the development of the steam turbine. The mighty turbines that produce power for American today are the Justification of that early faith." The first Fisk turbine had a speed ten times as great a* the out the ytars, Fisk at different times was rated the largest generating station in America. Even today it is the largest of the eleven stations of the Commonwealth system. It will lose this ranking next year, however, when the capacity of Commonwealth's new Ridgeland station will be increased to 600,000 kilowatts compared^ to Flsk's present 464,000 kilowatts. Today's big units on the Commonwealth system have thirty times the capacity of the first turbines; they have generators that operate at rates as high as 3,600 revolutions per minute compared with 500 r.p.m. on the first turbines. They use steam reciprocating engine. It weighed i with ten times the pressure and but one-tenth as much, yet cost j twice the temperature. The early Fiftieth- anniversary of the watt unit, a daring innovation first large steam 'turbine in of its day, was installed in the America will be observed Oct. company's Fisk station in 1903 1 by Commonwealth Edison and has been enshrined by its company.

It was no more economical in the use of coal but the lo^er initial cost and the need for less operating personnel made it a far more practical machine. More important was its promise that future advances would come with experience. The original turbine Was the ftrst of four of the sane size at Fisk. But so rapid was Che progress in steam, turbine development than in less than six years not one of the original turbines remained in operation. They had been dismantled and replaced by machines of greater efficiency and capacity. Expanded and rebuilt tftrough- . historic Fisk station in Chicago _Js celebrated. Willis Gale, chairman of Commonwealth, has announced {plans for observing the anniversary of the opening of the plant where, in 1903, the first large steam turbine in America began opeiating.
