Although, there is no caption, we may estimate that it concerns the fundament of the main Malabar Station hall. And, that the photographer was standing where later the attached Telefunken station hall was to be build. We are looking northwards and the building is at our left-hand side thus is west of us

Turbine

Turbine

We may assume, that the turbine is the device in between the two electrical generators

Album sheet page 14 - 15

Juni 1920

This is another Poulsen 'spark-gap' generator. I believe, still being experimented with

Album sheet page 15

Juni 1920

On the right-hand side a heavy electric generator, on the left a turbine. Although, not completely clear, the typical pressure meters point into pressure control According this caption, it concerns a supply tube. Thus a water feed for turbines. How this correlate to the very open drains (small canals) I don't know. In the beginning of this album we have already notice this drain pipe

Tweede verdieping Hoofdgebouw

The second floor of the main station building

September 1920

Viewing this metal unit and comparing its surrounding viewed some photographs ago we may consider that both are at the same spot; but this image is taken some time later as the side walls being erected in the meantime. This correlate with the two dates. The first photo was from June 1920 and this one from September 1920
