The Recordist at the Shuffleton
Steam Power Plant near Seattle, Washington USA.
The Recordist and "Monster" Preparing
to start up the water feed pump. This was about 2 floors
down from the main deck.
The floor was slimey and the birds were chirping upstairs so we had to
time the start-up just right to avoid "natural' noises.
Main electric turbine room, with overhead
crane.
