GENERATION, TRANSMISSION AND APPLICATION Of THE POWER SERVICES Building reliability info today's high-speed generator rotor--82 np^ . PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT t 9 General Electric's Gas Turbine Pit One of the bays in Genera! Electric's gas turbine plant at Schenectady. N. Y. Units are being assembled for locomotive, pipeline pumping, and power generation service. Now Tooled for Continuous Production ^With the recent addition of a number of specialized BAcbine tools, General Electric's gas turbine manufac turing facilities are virtually complete. Production, test ing^ and shipment are on a regular schedule in the Scfcenectadv. N. Y., plant. In fact, the 1952 order board for delivery of 46 units-^ix for freight loco^ves, 34 for natural gas pumping stations, and six :power generation service in electric utilities. An larger total will be produced in 1953. mponents for the 3500 kw simple-cycle, the 3500 regenerative-cycle, and the 5000 kw compound- designs are in continuous production, ecendy, the first regenerative-cycle machine cornfactory tests and is now being installed. This de sign, distinctive for its flexibility, is suitable for utility application in a variety of arrangements involving the combined use of both gas and steam turbine cycles. Of particular importance are the refinements in manufacturing procedures which have come about as the result of operating experience with half a dozen units in customer installations. A large fund of data on fuels, design details, and performance has been ac cumulated. Thus, in less than five years, a completely new de velopment has become an established product. America's newest prime mover is making a significant contribution to the nation's over-all program for power expansion. General Electric Company, Schenectady 5, N. Y. liy6 GENERAL ELECTRIC
