EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Alfred T Palmer in 1942, transports us back to the construction site of TVA's hydroelectric plant at Watts Bar Dam in Tennessee. The image showcases a skilled worker diligently tightening a nut on a guide vane operating seromotor, highlighting the precision and expertise required for such an important task. Situated 530 miles above the mouth of the majestic Tennessee River, this dam boasts an authorized power installation of 90,000 kw. However, its potential is even greater with the possibility of reaching up to an impressive 150,000 kw. The reservoir created by this engineering marvel adds a staggering 370,000 acre-feet of water to controlled storage on the Tennessee River system. In this snapshot frozen in time from America's World War II era, we witness not only technical prowess but also glimpses into fashion choices and protective clothing worn by workers during that period. The man featured here stands proudly amidst his surroundings donning work attire complete with helmet and armor-like apparel - symbols of dedication and commitment to his craft. Alfred T Palmer skillfully captures both the physicality and significance behind hydroelectric power generation while showcasing American ingenuity at its finest. This remarkable still image preserved within the Library of Congress serves as a testament to human achievement in harnessing nature's resources for progress and prosperity.
