Mobile power plants for war-torn areas

POWER PLANTS are one of the targets whose destruction is certain in any area over which battles are fought. Power, however, is the prime necessity in restoring devastated areas as soon as they cease to be battlegrounds. To make initial power available at the earliest possible moment, mobile electric-generating plants in the form of railroad trains which may be moved to selected sites and quickly placed in operation are under construction by several manufacturers in the United States. The first units have already been delivered.
