摘要

TTHE INSPIRATION FOR thisr history article was supplied by Thomasr J. Blalock, a frequent contributor ofr interesting and informative historyr articles to these pages. Recently, Tomr sent me a photocopy of p. 459 of the 2r March 1929 issue of Electrical World.r One of a number of short entries underr “Briefer News” on the page was “Newr York Edison Makes Models of Oldr Pearl Street Station.” The piece discussedr three working scale modelsr of Thomas Alva Edison’s pioneeringr Pearl Street, Manhattan, central generatingr station. The models were builtr in the mechanical construction shopsr of the New York Edison Company, ar direct predecessor of the present Consolidatedr Edison Company of Newr York (Con Edison). In the margin ofr the photocopy, Tom wrote the followingr note: “Carl, I wonder if any ofr these still exist?” Thus began my questr to locate any survivors of the threer models built in the late 1920s.

Blalock经常在这些页面上提供有趣而翔实的历史文章。最近,Tomr给我寄了p的复印件。 1929年3月,《电气世界》(Electrical World)2r版中的第459页。“ Briefer News”页面上的许多简短条目之一是“ New York York Edison制作Older Pearl Street Station的模型。”该部分讨论了Thomas的三个工作规模模型阿尔瓦·爱迪生(Alva Edison)的先驱者曼哈顿中心的珍珠街,中央发电站。这些模型是在纽约爱迪生公司的机械制造商那里建造的,纽约爱迪生公司是现今纽约的爱迪生综合公司(爱迪生)的直接前身。在复印件的边缘,汤姆(Tom)写了以下注释:“卡尔,我想知道是否还存在吗?”于是,我开始寻求寻找1920年代后期建造的Threer模型的幸存者的机会。
