licy. The direct cause ofthe accident is not clear,but the proof in-dicates that in someway the machine lost itselectrical load. An ex-amination of the wreck-ed generator failed toshow any indicators of burn-ing or other electricaldisturbance, it appar-ently becoming electricallydead ahead of disruption G- r occurred. Evidence of overspeed, nevertheless was apparent and indicatedthat, when the turbine lost its load, each the governor and emergencystop failed to function speedily enough and the machine ran away,despite the fact that a current inspection had indicated that these valves had been func-tioning properly. The accompanyingpictures show veryplainly some of the un-usual characteristics of thisaccident. The coverpage illustration is aview of the generatorend of the machine andgives an notion of thecompleteness of thewreck. The rotor dis-rupted, gripped thestator windings andcaused them to turnwith it to a particular extent, thereby rupturing the entire generatorframe. The rotor can be noticed firmlv wedged inside the stator

It will be observed that torsional forcehas wrenched the shaft so that the slots are no longer parallel to theaxis, and that centrifugal force has torn away a large section of thelaminated discs of which the outer component of the rotor was composed. Inthe background of this image can be seen the ruptured frame ofanother machine. Figure two is a view of an end shield of the field winding, and isof interest as giving evidence of excessive overspeed. This ring islyi thick and is drilled in diagonal rows of l/2 holes for ventilatingpurposes. As can be observed in the image, these holes are considerablyelongated circumferencially as a outcome of the hoop tension created.The other finish shield, shown in the foreground of Figure 1, disruptedthrough a line of holes and flattened out. The turbine itself did not explode, but the shaft was bent, theblades being seriously damaged by rubbin

Basic View of 6000-Kw Turbine as Installed in the Manchester Energy Station A speed-regulating gear is fitted to the throttle valve,which is actuated either by hand or by the little electricmotor shown in the basic view of the machine.
