[AT] Oliver's decline was Nice Tractor Day

[HERBERT METZ]

Steve mentioned AC in many markets; in mid 1960s many manufacturers of large electrical generating equipment were hammered because of price fixing. At that time I did not realize AC was that big. 
We toured Hoover Dam in early 70's; I certainly agree with Steve. Herb(GA)

At least one of the big generators was built by Allis-Chalmers.   (Others wore GE or Westinghouse plaques).  These generators, working from fuzzy memory, are about 30’ diameter; driven by 2’ diameter shafts coming up from the turbines.  Very impressive in the modern day, and hard to even imagine the manufacturing equipment required  back then.
