Description:Employees are pictured in the newly completed Turbine Generator Division ’68 Bay’ by a large beam that would later form part of an overhead travelling crane. The crane would operate in the Bay at approximately 50 feet from the ground with an 80 foot span and a 350 ton capacity, making it at the time one of the largest of its type in the world. On completion the crane would be used for lifting and moving large machines and motor generators. The English Electric Co.'s Lichfield Road Site in Stafford was renowned for its electrical products including generators, transformers and switchgear. This image is taken from a glass negative donated to the Staffordshire County Museum by Alstom Power, Lichfield Road, Stafford.
