Control cabinets
The control gear for the penstocks and turbine generators at Dolgarrog hydro-electric power station. From the right hand end of the console, are the controls for Units 5 to 2 which are located at Dolgarrog, and off the image to the left the single unit at Cwm Dyli. The large gauges indicate that Unit2 was generating around 10 megawatts, Unit 3 was generating around 7 megawatts, and Cwm Dyli was not generating.
