1950 GENERAL ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION FILM THE POWER BY WHICH WE LIVE 86404

Produced for General Electric by Wilding, THE POWER BY WHICH WE LIVE was released in 1950. The film tells the story of the electric power grid and power generation. The company catalog stated that is shows "the source of the power which operates the appliances in our home, the lights we see by, the machines we work with. Somewhere in each locality giant turbines make this supply of electricity possible. These huge machines are built with the precision of a high-quality watch and operate for years with a bare minimum of maintenance."

"The film shows the dramatic process through which the precision, dependability, and accuracy are built into the turbine from the development of each component, to the final assembly, to the test run where live steam is ad-mitted and the machine proves itself ready to undertake its vital role in supplying America with the "Power by Which We Live.""

The movie shows modern power plants at the 3:00 mark, and plenty of great cityscapes including New York at the 1:30 mark, GG-1 electric locomotives and trolleys and trolley buses, and Times Square at 1:40. The film ends with theoretical discussion of the nuclear power plant.
