Abstract
Although almost microscopic as compared with modern electric generators, the 5,000-hp generators installed at Niagara Falls in 1895 had a capacity of about 4 times that of the largest generator previously built. Some of the early operating experiences at Niagara are related here by a past-president of the Institute who was the first operating superintendent and who was in charge of the construction and operation of the original Buffalo-Niagara 11,000-volt 3-phase transmission line.
