Electricity 1930

[NickDub]

I remember isolated houses in the area I lived in using diesel generators. They were quite large, noisy things, usually out in a shed somewhere. That was in the 60s.

Google. “stationary engine images”, you will see several primitive small engines that can power a generator or milking machine or sawbench, anything that needs a flat belt drive.

Mostly run  I think on tractor vaporising oil or paraffin.

You see lots of them at steam fairs and vintage rallies.

  Now all I have to do is work out who was living in which farmhouse at the time!
