Ve are intrigued with this night photograph of the semi-outdoor Hawthorn Station of Kansas City Power
& Light Company. All the more do we like it because it shows a couple of Elliott outdoor splasbproof
. (weather-protected) motors driving forced- and Induced-draft fans. The 250-hp motor driving the
forced-draft fan is not too easy to make out at the left, but plainly shown at the right is the 600-bp
motor on the induced-draft fan. This station was written up in the Summer 1932 issue of Ptncerfax* When the fourth unit is completed in 1955, the $50,000,000 Hawthorn Station, named after Missouri**
state flower, will represent one of the largest single private investments in the history of Kansas City*
