Transformer manufacture. These huge aluminum spheres are used to test each power transformer which is ready to be shipped from a large Eastern electrical plant. Since lightning is apt to destroy power units in the field, each transformer is given an "artificial lightning" test to determine its ability to resist the elements. These spheres are part of a setup that produces 2,500,000 volts for testing purposes. Westinghouse, Sharon, Pennsylvania

Transformer manufacture. These completed power transformers are sent to every part of the country and to almost every country in the Western hemisphere where they are needed in war production factories. These giants supply the power essentials to the production of ships and guns and tanks, as well as all other war essentials. Cranes capable of handling seventy-five tons hoist completed transformers to flatcars. Westinghouse, Sharon, Pennsylvania
