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.

The station had its own internal electric railway for handing coal and ash. The photos show this system including Locomotive No. 2 and LEP coal wagon No. 195; the latter would have been used to supply coal from local collieries. The system ran on 550v DC and eventually had four locomotives several of which are preserved.
This design shows the classic Electrical Engineering joke about God speaking Maxwell's Equations which govern the way light works when he went to make it. Maybe Moses heard these and what he got was, "Let there be light" and wrote that in Genesis 1:3. These are the derivative forms of Gauss's Law for electricity and magnetism, the Maxwell-Faraday equation (law of induction), and Ampere's circuitual law with Maxwell's addition. I like to think that God designed all of this beauty into the physical universe and we are discovering the grace and simplicity even in the most profound phenomena.

yesterday we celebrated my uncle's party for gaining master degree in electrical power engineering
I was invited twice as a photographer and as nephew so I tried a new type of photography which is I guess journalistic photography or indoors photography and I have to say I enjoyed it a lot with these shots down below
best regards

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!

The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved funding to help launch a $30 million nanoelectronics initiative. The cornerstone of the initiative will be a nanoelectronics research center at the university. UT System will participate with the state of Texas, Texas Instruments and other industry partners in a proposal to create the Southwest Academy of Nanoelectronics, which Electrical Engineering Professor Sanjay Banerjee will direct. The initiative also calls for recruiting talented nanoelectronics experts to hold research/faculty appointments at three UT institutions.

Local number: SIA Acc. 90-105 [SIA-SIA2008-4682]
Summary: New England industrialist Vivien Kellems (1896-1975) co-founded Kellems Cable Grips Inc., in 1927, with her brother, who had patented a special grip design that became widely used in construction, electrical connections, and medicine. By 1940, when this photograph was distributed in connection with her most recent lecture tour, Kellems had become known as the only woman manufacturer in the electrical industry and a clever and popular speaker. Her October 1939 talk at the Engineers Club of Philadelphia was titled "King Tut Laughed at It," and the invitation emphasized that "ladies are particularly invited." "Stop worrying about the collapse of civilization, the impending wars, the troubles and sorrows here at home. For an hour or so listen to and laugh with Miss Kellems as she tells of the ups and downs of the cable grip business.
