A booklet giving details of the extension to the Kearsley Generating Station of the Lancashire Electric Power Company that was formally inaugurated by the Rt. Hon. The Earl of Derby on 21 December 1936. It gives details of the history of the company and its generating stations that were situated at Radcliffe, Padiham and Kearsley.
The LEP Co. was formed in 1900 with generation and supply powers to a large area of Lancashire south of the River Ribble. Its first station was opened at Radcliffe, on the River Irwell, on 9 October 1905. The company was required to develop a large system of distribution mains and cables to serve its area of supply. During WW1, to help cope with the demand for electricity from industry, the LEP entered into a coordination scheme with two of the municipal undertakings that had at first opposed the company's powers; Manchester and Salford. These inter-connections across Lancashire pre-dated the schemes that were developed with Government backing from the 1920s onwards that were to make bulk supply of electricity a more effective arrangement and to the development of the National Grid. The company's second generating station, at Padiham, opened in 1926 and this was followed in 1929 by the first stages of the station at Kearsley, again on the Irwell and just north of Salford's Agecroft station. These can be seen in the maps included in the booklet.
The booklet gives details of the extension at Kearsley that were undertaken to the requirements of the Central Electricity Board that was helping to undertake a standardisation across the British electricity industry and promoting better efficiency in the generation field. As part of the CEB's schemes all three of the LEP's stations were "selected" and they frequently held records for thermal efficiency. It gives details of the equipment including the new turbo-generators by the British Thomson-Houston Co. Ltd and the associated works.
The LEP would be Nationalised in 1948, the three generating stations passing to the British Electricity Authority, latterly the CEGB, and the distribution and supply network to the North Western Electricity Board. Radcliffe was closed in 1959, Padiham "A" in 1969 although the Padiham "B" station opened in 1959 survived until 1993, and Kearsley was decommissioned in 1981.

In the special International Railway Congress issue of the Railway Gazette for 1954 English Electric splashed out with their advertising budget taking a series of full colour pages for adverts looking at the company's lineage and products. English Electric had been formed in December 1918 and brought together a number of companies who had been involved in electrical and mechanical engineering along with wartime munitions work. Of the various concerns it was Dick, Kerr of Preston who had been most involved in transport; primarily tramways but also in railways. The following year EE purchased the Siemens Brothers Dynamo Works Limited at Stafford, works that were to become a major centre of EE activity.
Postwar and the early 1920s saw EE, like many other industrial concerns, struggle financially and in 1928 it was necessary to restructure and recapitalise the company to keep it as a going concern. By 1930 it was announced that much of the capital behind the restructuring came from the American Westinghouse businesses. EE now prospered somewhat to become one of the major UK electrical companies alongside GEC and the AEI group. During WW2 EE became involved in aircraft construction and, by acquiring Napier the aero engine company, the post-war aviation business became an important sector. In 1960 this became part of the new British Aircraft Corporation as the sector raionalised under Government pressure.
In terms of railway work, EE made many traction motors and electrification equipment that were used in 1930s schemes for expansion at London Underground and the Southern Railway. The construction of diesel locomotives began in 1936. In post WW2 years EE acquired both the Vulcan Foundry and Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns Ltd in 1955 to strengthen the business. As can be seen from the adverts much of EE's output had been in the form of exports and the UK railway stock shown dated back, some to pre-EE days. In a way the lack of UK materials shows the slow progress that the newly Nationalised British Railways were making in terms of Modernisation and the undertaking's somewhat slow pace in the replacement of steam with diesel and electric traction. In the years after 1954/55 as BR's Modernisation Plan took hold EE did supply many new items of rolling stock to BR.
This page is dominated by one of the Victorian Railways "L-class" electric locomotives that were constructed in 1953/54 primarily for the Gippsland electrification scheme. They are similar to the RENFE Class 277 locomotives.

This is a picture of a project one of my fellow graduate students is working on. If you are at all familiar with photovoltaics you have probably heard of microinverters which are intended to be used in conjunction with a single PV module. I called these nanoinverters because the idea here is to take it one step smaller by attaching an inverter to each PV cell inside of a module. Its pretty cool stuff but I think it makes for an equally cool picture!
